What Does A Litigation Lawyer Do?
In Delaware, litigation is generally defined as the legal process of resolving legal disagreements between two parties or more through the legal system, including filing and defending lawsuits, engaging in alternative dispute resolution, and other legal proceedings that are part of the complex legal process.
A Litigation lawyer can handle both civil cases and criminal cases. While the criminal code is different than the civil code, the ability to represent a client in pre-trial motions, at trial, and appeal are similar. While the stakes are different, a skilled litigation lawyer is essential.
Civil litigation can involve a range of legal differences between two litigants or more, such as personal injury, business issues, employment law, construction law, medical malpractice, and more. In Delaware, individuals involved in a dispute may choose to engage in alternative resolution methods such as mediation or arbitration, but if a resolution cannot be reached, those involved may ultimately resort to a trial.
During civil litigation, each side will engage in discovery to gather evidence and information relevant to the case, and the judge will ultimately make a ruling or issue a judgment based on the legal arguments and evidence presented.

What Our Clients Say
Kevin Smith2025-02-28 Dianna Stuart, from the law firm of Schmittinger and Rodriguez provided legal representation for me in November 2024. She did not disappoint. I was concerned about many things when I initially spoke with her. I was anxious and very worried about my situation because my job was in jeopardy. When I talked to her, I could see that she was very knowledgeable. While she didn’t tell me what I wanted to hear so that I would feel better about my situation, she did explain to me the good, the bad and the ugly of my case. Nonetheless; the confidence in her demeanor let me know that she was going to fight for me. It sustained me through my court date. I knew that she was the one to represent me leading up to my case hearing. She would stay in contact and answer any questions that I may have had. On February 25, 2025, I left the court house elated of the outcome of my case. I will highly recommend Dianna to all of my friends and family who may need a good attorney. Thank you Dianna Pam Tijerino2025-02-27 I want to thank my lawyer Mr. Schmittinger for all the hard he and his paralegal did to win case.

I'm deeply grateful for him. Thank you so much. Busra Kangal2025-02-10 I had the pleasure of working with this law firm on two separate occasions, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their professionalism, dedication, and the outstanding service they provided. My first experience was after a car accident in 2019, and then again after another accident in 2020. Both times, the team went above and beyond to ensure I received the best possible representation and compensation. In particular, Mr. Junge, the attorney I worked with, was outstanding. From our initial consultation, he made me feel at ease by taking the time to thoroughly explain the legal process, answer all my questions, discuss the details regarding the accident. His expertise and attention to detail were evident every step of the way, and I always felt confident that my case was in capable hands. Additionally, Chantel Smith, the paralegal, was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly organized, efficient, and always had a positive attitude. She made sure that all the paperwork and documentation were in order and kept everything on track throughout both cases. Whenever I had a question or needed assistance, Chantel was quick to respond and offered clear, helpful guidance. Her professionalism and support were invaluable in navigating this process. Thanks to their hard work and expertise, both of my cases were handled smoothly and successfully, and I am incredibly grateful for their help. I would highly recommend this law firm to anyone in need of personal injury representation. Mr. Junge and Chantel are truly a dream team, and I’m so thankful for their dedication to achieving the best outcome for me.
