That’s why we balance aggressive advocacy with practical strategies, working toward resolutions that protect our clients’ interests while controlling costs.

Our boutique size means that when you work with us, you get direct access to seasoned litigators who know your case inside and out.

How long does litigation typically take in Arizona?

Every litigation matter is different. The length of a case depends on numerous factors, including the complexity of the issues, the number of parties involved, the court's schedule, the scope of discovery, motion practice, and whether the matter is resolved through settlement, mediation, arbitration, or trial. Some cases conclude relatively quickly, while others require substantially more time. An attorney can evaluate your matter and provide more realistic expectations based on the facts and procedural posture of the case.

What is the difference between litigation and arbitration?

Litigation is the process of resolving legal disputes through the court system before a judge or, in some cases, a jury. Arbitration is a private dispute resolution process in which one or more neutral arbitrators hear evidence and issue a decision. Depending on the parties' agreement and applicable law, an arbitration decision may be binding or non-binding. Each process has advantages and limitations, and the most appropriate forum depends on the governing agreement, the facts of the dispute, and the client's objectives.

Does Giles Law take cases to trial, or does it only settle?

Giles Law develops a litigation strategy based on the facts of each case, the applicable law, and our client's objectives. Some matters are resolved through negotiated settlement, mediation, or other forms of alternative dispute resolution, while others proceed through trial or appeal. When litigation is necessary, we prepare each case thoroughly to advocate effectively at every stage of the proceeding.

Does Giles Law handle litigation outside of Phoenix?

Yes. Giles Law represents clients in courts throughout Arizona, subject to the nature of the matter, attorney licensure, and applicable court rules. We also work with out-of-state law firms serving as Arizona local counsel and litigation co-counsel when appropriate.

How does Giles Law approach litigation costs and fees?

Fee arrangements vary depending on the nature of the representation and the needs of each client. During the initial consultation, we discuss the scope of the engagement, anticipated legal services, and the applicable fee structure. Depending on the circumstances, representation is typically provided on an hourly basis. Beginning with our client engagement documents, we believe clients should understand the billing process and receive clear communication regarding fees throughout the representation.
