While individuals can represent themselves, civil litigation often involves complex procedures and legal strategy. Hiring an experienced attorney greatly improves your chances of a favorable outcome and helps you avoid costly mistakes.

The timeline varies based on the complexity of the case and the court’s schedule. Some cases settle in a few months, while others may take a year or more. At Shim Law Group, we aim to resolve disputes efficiently without sacrificing results.
