Our Civil Litigation and Appellate Practice

Hesse & Butterworth represents individuals and businesses in a wide variety of civil cases. As knowledgeable trial attorneys, we understand that, often, negotiation and mediation can bring about successful results. We strive to resolve civil disputes first outside of court.

When the need for aggressive trial techniques does arise, our firm safeguards our clients' interests at trial. In our civil litigation practice, we handle negotiation, mediation, trial work and appeals in areas such as the following:

• Probate litigation: We represent executors and heirs who are involved in succession disputes regarding wills contests, trust disputes or property disputes.
• Business litigation: Contracts form the foundation for many business relationships and transactions. When a contract is breached, business relationships can suffer and money can be lost. Our firm handles contract disputes in an efficient and effective manner.
• Real estate litigation: We handle various types of real estate and property disputes that can arise during or after a real estate transaction. Issues we frequently handle include contract disputes, boundary or easement disputes, and property title issues. We also handle cases involving the expropriation of rural land for highway development.

Whether your dispute can be efficiently resolved outside of court, requires civil litigation, or you need to appeal a court decision, we have the experience and skill to help. Contact Hesse & Butterworth to schedule your free consultation.
