Your Partners in Legal Disputes, From Start to Finish

At Calvert Law Firm, we understand that legal disputes are never just about paperwork—they’re about people, businesses, livelihoods, and futures. If you’re facing a lawsuit, a contract dispute, or any form of legal conflict in Oklahoma, you want a team that brings experience, preparation, and a relentless focus on your best interests. That’s exactly what you’ll find with our general litigation practice.

For decades, our attorneys have represented both individuals and businesses in a wide range of litigation matters. Our approach is rooted in early and thorough case assessment, smart negotiation, and—when necessary—aggressive advocacy in court. We treat every case as if it might go to trial, because this preparation gives us the leverage and confidence to get the best result, whether it’s at the negotiation table or before a judge or jury.

What is General Litigation?

General litigation covers almost every type of civil dispute that might end up in an Oklahoma courtroom. Unlike lawyers who focus solely on one area of law, our general litigation team is experienced in handling a wide spectrum of cases. This includes business and commercial litigation, real estate disputes, contract breaches, professional malpractice, partnership conflicts, fiduciary duty claims, insurance disputes, and more.

Whether you’re the party bringing a lawsuit (the plaintiff) or defending against a claim (the defendant), our attorneys know how to protect your interests and pursue a successful resolution.

The Calvert Law Firm Litigation Process

1. Case Evaluation & Early Assessment

We begin every case by listening—understanding your objectives and the facts. Our attorneys analyze the strengths and weaknesses of your position, explain likely outcomes, and help you make smart, informed decisions from the outset.

2. Investigation & Evidence Gathering

Preparation is everything. We secure contracts, correspondence, financial records, digital evidence, witness statements, expert reports, and more. Our team knows what to look for and how to use it to your advantage.

3. Pre-Litigation Negotiation & Settlement

Many disputes can be resolved before a lawsuit is ever filed. We are skilled negotiators who seek efficient, favorable resolutions whenever possible, saving you time and cost.

4. Filing Suit & Discovery

When negotiation isn’t enough, we file suit promptly and manage all court requirements. During discovery, we exchange evidence, take depositions, and develop the legal arguments that put your case in the strongest position.

5. Motion Practice & Pre-Trial Preparation

We use targeted motions to narrow issues, dismiss unfounded claims, and set the stage for trial. Our reputation for preparation often leads to better settlements—opponents know we are ready.

6. Trial

If your case must go to trial, you have a team with decades of courtroom experience. We know how to present complex facts and legal arguments clearly and persuasively to judges and juries.

7. Appeals (If Needed)

Some cases continue after the first verdict. We handle appeals and post-judgment motions, fighting for your interests every step of the way.
