Litigation (or the threat thereof) is life for many individuals and business owners. Even owners who have protected their assets by forming a corporation or LLC may be at risk of litigation.
Whether you’re being sued or want to sue, the worst thing you can do is ignore the problem, especially if you’ve been served with court papers. Ignoring a lawsuit doesn’t make it go away, and you may face further ramifications by letting it fall to the wayside. On the other hand, if you want to file a lawsuit, you must do so before the statute of limitations (deadline) arrives.
Hiring an experienced Howard County civil litigation lawyer is in your best interest for these and many other reasons. Coover Law Firm, LLC responds quickly to any threat of litigation to protect your rights and resolve the matter in your best interests as soon as possible.
