The Legal Process Explained

I wish the legal process moved as quickly and smoothly as it does in the legal dramas on TV. Whether the accident occurs on L.A. Law, The Practice or Boston Legal, the story always develops the same way. An injury occurs, a lawsuit is filed, a jury trial takes places and then the injured party wins-all in less than 60 minutes. It would be wonderful if I could achieve justice that quickly for my clients, but there are obviously many more steps and time that go into a real claim. While not nearly as simplified as it is in TV shows, the real life legal process can easily be broken down into two distinct stages: Pre-Litigation and Litigation. I refer to all activity before a lawsuit is filed as "pre-litigation." Litigation does not begin until a lawsuit is filed at the courthouse.
