Civil Law

Civil Law encompasses all law that is not criminal. This area of law mainly involves disputes and lawsuits between two or more parties. Civil actions can involve individual persons, corporations, the government, partnerships, and other entities. Civil Law includes many things such as personal injury, divorce, medical malpractice, car wrecks, contracts as well as many other areas of the law.

Generally, you should speak to an attorney before you talk to anyone about your civil legal problem. This is because generally, anything you say can be used against you in court. A loss in a civil case can result in a money judgment against you and the other party can garnish your wages and seize most of your assets to collect the judgment.

Criminal Law
