The Legal Process in North Carolina

court divider 262 1

Filing a lawsuit can be the appropriate course of action to take in order to resolve a dispute, particularly in instances where there has been a breach of contract or negligence leading to injury. It is best if the Plaintiff can sufficiently determine that certain elements are in place before proceeding with a lawsuit and this is where the assistance of a good lawyer can be beneficial. In the end, having a case heard by a jury of peers can be the best way to resolve a case.
