Medina Civil Litigation Lawyer

Filing a lawsuit in Medina often comes down to whether you’ve been injured, either physically or financially. Whether it’s after a car accident or business dispute, if someone’s responsible for causing you harm, talk with us about your options.

When you come to us, we’ll discuss the resolution you’re hoping for. An insurance claim or mediation may be a good option, or a lawsuit may be your best bet. No matter what, you can expect candid advice on how to get the best results during a civil case.

It’s possible to resolve a legal dispute outside of the courtroom, and we will pursue every option. But not everyone wants to play fair. We don’t like when our clients get pushed around and prepare for trial from day one. This lets us assert your rights at every stage and makes your civil case ready for anything.

The best way to make a difference or gain the upper hand in your case is to consult an experienced civil litigation attorney at Erb Legal.
