Procedural law refers to the set of rules that govern the process by which courts hear and determine what happens in civil, criminal, and administrative cases. This could be State Statute, Federal Law, Administrative Law, or the various government entities (such as City Hall) where there is a set of rules that are being enforced. It involves the steps through which a legal case passes, from the initial filing of a complaint or charge to the final resolution.
When attending a free initial consultation with our firm, be sure to bring all documents that support your claim regarding the legal matter in question.
Filing of Documents: Lippman Law ensure that all necessary documents (such as complaints, motions, and briefs) are filed in accordance with court rules. This includes meeting deadlines, following specific formats, and filing with the correct court.
Service of Process: We ensure that all parties involved in the case are properly notified about legal actions, typically through a formal process known as “service of process.” This is crucial for giving the other party a fair opportunity to respond, and required by law.
Pre-Trial Procedures: This includes discovery (exchanging information between parties), pre-trial motions, and hearings. We use these tools to gather evidence, challenge the opposing party’s case, or try to get the case dismissed.
Appeals: If a case is appealed, procedural law dictates how we must file for an appeal, what grounds can be used, and how arguments are presented in appellate courts.
Enforcement of Judgments: After a judgment is made, procedural law governs how it can be enforced, whether through garnishment, liens, or other legal mechanisms.
