Your Civil Law Questions Answered by Melbourne’s Trusted Lawyers

Have Questions About Civil Disputes?
We Have the Answers

What types of legal disputes do civil lawyers handle?

Civil lawyers deal with a wide range of disputes, including property disagreements, contract breaches, workplace disputes, and debt recovery.

Whether it’s a business matter or a personal issue, our experienced lawyers provide practical advice and representation tailored to your unique situation.

How do I know if I have a strong case?

Determining the strength of your case depends on a thorough review of the facts and applicable laws. Key factors may include the evidence available, the terms of any agreements involved, and the circumstances of the dispute.

Our lawyers will carefully evaluate your case during a consultation and guide you on the best course of action.

What outcomes can I expect from my civil case?

Potential outcomes vary depending on the nature of your dispute. These may include financial compensation, enforcing or terminating contracts, debt recovery, or reaching a negotiated settlement.

Our goal is to achieve a resolution that protects your rights and minimises stress, whether through mediation, negotiation, or litigation.

How can a civil lawyer help with debt recovery?

A civil lawyer can assist by taking legal action to recover unpaid debts, drafting demand letters, negotiating repayment terms, or representing you in court. Our team ensures your rights are protected while working to recover what is owed as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Yes, many civil disputes can be resolved through alternative methods like mediation or negotiation. These approaches are often faster, less stressful, and more cost-effective. At Pentana Stanton, we prioritise out-of-court resolutions whenever possible, while remaining prepared to litigate if necessary.

Property disputes involve disagreements over ownership, boundaries, or use of property. Resolutions may involve mediation, negotiation, or court proceedings to establish legal rights. Our team specialises in guiding clients through these complex cases to protect their interests and investments.

To help us evaluate your case effectively, bring all relevant documents, such as contracts, emails, invoices, letters, or court notices. For property disputes, title deeds and boundary maps may also be helpful. Our lawyers will review these materials to provide tailored legal advice.

Yes, civil lawyers are skilled negotiators who can help achieve favourable settlements without going to court. We act as your advocate, ensuring your interests are protected while finding mutually agreeable solutions to disputes.

Yes, compensation is often a key outcome in civil cases. This could include financial damages for breach of contract, loss of property value, or unpaid debts. Our lawyers will assess your case and determine the most effective way to claim the compensation you’re entitled to.

If the opposing party is uncooperative, we can escalate the matter through formal legal channels, including filing a court case. Our team has extensive experience managing uncooperative parties and will ensure your rights are upheld, whether through negotiation, enforcement, or litigation.

Some disputes, such as fraud or defamation cases, may involve both civil and criminal aspects. At Pentana Stanton, our team is equipped to handle both sides of your case, ensuring cohesive representation and a comprehensive legal strategy to protect your rights.
