Civil litigation lawyer services

If you have already been sued, or are preparing to sue to recover outstanding payments, goods payments, and damages, you need to first arrange the evidence and strategy.

Civil litigation is not just about telling the court what's going on. What truly matters is: whether the requested items are correct, whether the evidence is sufficient, how the amount is calculated, whether the other party is likely to renege on their commitments, and whether the judgment can be effectively enforced after a victory. Our firm assists with civil cases in Taipei, New Taipei, Taoyuan, Hsinchu, and Keelung, designing practical and enforceable solutions from filing a lawsuit, responding, mediating, to enforcement.

Do you wish to file a civil lawsuit?

For example, the other party owes money and does not pay, payment for goods is delayed, project payment is overdue, contract is breached, damage is caused but no compensation is paid, or it is necessary to return houses, land, goods and investment funds.

We will first assess whether it is appropriate to use a registered letter, lawyer's letter, payment order, injunctive relief, mediation, or formal lawsuit to avoid spending litigation costs without getting any actual results.

You have been sued in a civil lawsuit.

Upon receiving a complaint, payment order, court mediation notice, or court hearing notice, it is not advisable to wait until the day of the hearing to process it. The defendant's response, evidence, and time limits will directly affect the outcome.

We will assist in checking whether the other party's request has a legal basis, whether the amount is reasonable, whether it has been paid in full, whether it has exceeded the statute of limitations, and whether there is room for counterclaim or set-off.

What types of cases can a civil lawyer assist with?

The core of civil cases typically involves damage to property, contracts, money, real estate, or rights. Our firm will first assess the legal relationship and the strength of the evidence before deciding on litigation, mediation, or preservation strategies.

06

Presumptive seizure and enforcement

If there are concerns about the other party transferring assets, a preliminary seizure should be assessed as early as possible; after winning the case or obtaining the name of enforcement, enforcement strategies such as salary deduction, deposit withholding, and asset seizure should also be arranged.

Litigation strategy

In civil lawsuits, what really matters is not whether you can win, but whether you can get your money back and minimize your losses.

Calculate the chances of winning and enforcement before filing a lawsuit.

If the other party has no assets or insufficient evidence, even filing a lawsuit may be too costly. A lawyer will assist in determining whether to first gather evidence, negotiate, preserve assets, or pursue other procedures.

Evidence is more important than emotions

Courts value contracts, invoices, remittance records, conversation logs, shipment and inspection documents, photographs, audio recordings, and witness testimonies. The earlier you gather evidence, the better it is for filing a lawsuit or responding to a defense.

The defendant is not only a passive recipient of beatings.

In civil cases, the defendant may argue that the other party's claim is unfounded, the amount is incorrect, payment has already been made, the other party breached the contract first, the statute of limitations has expired, set-off, or a counterclaim. With the right strategy, there is still considerable room for maneuver in the case.

Assess the priority of evidence-based letters, lawyer's letters, payment orders, mediation, preliminary attachment, lawsuits, counterclaims, settlements, or enforcement.

Civil Litigation FAQ

What should I do after receiving a civil complaint or court notice?

First, confirm the court, case number, hearing date, and deadline for submitting the written statement. Then, gather contracts, records of conversations, remittance information, invoices, and shipping or acceptance documents. Don't wait until the day of the hearing to make a verbal statement; civil cases usually rely on written statements and evidence to establish a defense.

Do I always have to file a lawsuit if someone owes me money or fails to pay for goods?

Not necessarily. You can first assess options such as evidence-based letters, lawyer's letters, payment orders, preliminary attachment, mediation, or civil litigation. If the other party may be financially dissolutizing or the amount involved is high, you should assess preservation and enforcement strategies as early as possible.

What types of damages can be claimed in a civil lawsuit?

Common claims include loan repayment, payment for goods, payment for construction work, damages, penalties, interest, unjust enrichment, return of property, rent, damage to property, and breach of contract. The specific claim must be determined based on evidence and the legal relationship.

Is it certain that the defendant in a civil case will lose?

Not necessarily. The defendant can still raise defenses such as the contract being invalid, payment already made, the other party also breaching the contract, the statute of limitations having expired, the amount being miscalculated, insufficient evidence, set-off, or a counterclaim.

Can you provide assistance with cases in Taipei, New Taipei, Taoyuan, Hsinchu, and Keelung courts?

Yes. Our firm can assist with civil litigation, mediation, payment orders, injunctive relief, and enforcement cases in these regional courts, and can also conduct preliminary case assessments online first.

Are you considering filing a lawsuit, or have you already received court documents?

You can first organize the complaint, payment order, contract, IOU, invoice, remittance records, screenshots of conversations, and court notice, and let the lawyer help you determine the next step.
