Answers To Common Questions
Business owners facing litigation often have questions about procedure, timing and the scope of our practice. The answers below explain what to expect in California courts and how our attorneys assist with disputes involving companies in Mexico.
What happens after a business lawsuit begins?
A plaintiff starts the case by filing a complaint and arranging service of a copy and a summons on the defendant. In California state court, the defendant generally has 30 days after service to respond. As the matter proceeds, both sides may use discovery to request documents and take sworn testimony from witnesses.
Litigation may end before trial through settlement or a successful motion for summary judgment. The court generally must grant that motion if no genuine dispute exists over the key facts and the law entitles the party that filed it to judgment. We review your contracts and records early to identify an approach that fits your goals.
How long does a business dispute take to resolve?
California courts aim to resolve general civil cases within two years of filing, but that goal does not set a deadline for your lawsuit. Several factors affect how long the process takes:
- The number of parties and claims
- The volume of records each side reviews
- The motions awaiting a ruling from the judge
- The arbitration terms in your contract
State law generally requires a plaintiff to bring a case to trial within five years of filing, unless a statutory exception applies. A judge must dismiss a lawsuit that exceeds the applicable deadline, and we monitor that limit along with every date the court sets.
Can Reznik Law Group litigate against a company in Mexico?
We represent U.S. and Mexican businesses in cross-border conflicts. To serve a defendant in Mexico under the Hague Service Convention, we submit the summons and complaint, with Spanish translations, to the country’s central authority. That step can take several months.
To enforce a U.S. judgment in Mexico, the winning party must petition a Mexican court to recognize it. We coordinate that proceeding with local counsel.
