Litigation
At MacDermid Lamarsh we pride ourselves on providing only the best service to our clients. Our civil litigation team includes a group of lawyers with extensive experience in the field.
When your rights or interests have been injured by another person, company, or public authority, you may start a law suit in Court for monetary compensation. The process by which you access to enforce your rights is called “civil litigation”.
At MacDermid Lamarsh, we have an experienced team of litigation lawyers that can work for you to analyze your case, outline your legal options, construct a plan, and then move forward on your instructions with skill and energy to obtain the solution you need.
