Civil Litigation

Civil litigation is a broad term which includes civil cases adjudicated in any court in the State of Ohio, including local municipal courts, common pleas courts, courts of appeals, the Ohio Supreme Court and the various federal courts. It involves the filing of a compliant, and answer, discovery, mediation, arbitration and in some cases a judge or jury trial. Joseph T. Burke represents both Plaintiffs and Defendants in such cases. It is important to know that each particular court may have different ways of handling cases, advancing a docket, and resolving disputes.

Always retain counsel who has practiced in the Court and before the various judges in that court. Familiarity breeds experience, trust and a solid reputation. An attorney unfamiliar with a particular court is at a serious disadvantage to one who regularly practices before the court.

Joseph T. Burke has favorable experience in representing Plaintiffs and Defendants in breach of contract, collection and construction problems and insurance claims. Joseph is also a certified arbitrator for the Better Business Bureau involving lemon law claims.
