Civil Litigation

I’m for truth, no matter who tells it. I’m for justice, no matter who it’s for or against.

Attorney Leo Garbuzov has substantial experience representing both Plaintiffs and Defendants in a vast array of civil litigation matters ranging from simple (landlord-tenant disputes, breaches of contract between merchant and buyer, etc.) to very complex (copyright infringement, mass tort actions, etc.). While the approach to each civil litigation matter may vary depending on its type and level of complexity, the Garbuzov Law Firm, PLLC believes that the basic principles are the same. When a client comes to us with a civil litigation matter, it is because he/she feels that he or she has been wronged and is usually seeking to be “made whole”. The first step is always to determine whether or not the client has a viable cause of action or a valid defense. Inevitably the next step is to utilize all the legal and equitable remedies available and to devise a legal strategy in the best interest of the client.

Whether you are “suing” or “being sued” it is important for your lawyer to keep in mind your objectives and goals. For some clients a permanent injunction may be more valuable than a six figure settlement. For other clients a mutual release and a payment of a nominal settlement amount may be a good outcome, if it helps them to avoid negative publicity for their business. In short, we believe that it is the lawyer’s job to help the client to “craft” flexible and innovative solutions to each particular problem, instead of only worrying about the bottom line comprising of x dollars and y cents.
