Common Types of Litigation We Handle
Contract Disputes
Broken agreements can cause major business losses or personal stress. We represent clients in contract lawsuits ranging from straightforward payment disputes to complex, multi-party commercial claims.
Business & Commercial Litigation

Real Estate Litigation
Our team resolves disputes over property ownership, sales contracts, lease agreements, boundary issues, and title defects.
Professional Malpractice
We represent clients harmed by the negligence of accountants, attorneys, or other professionals. These cases require special expertise and the ability to prove both a standard of care and damages.
Shareholder & Partnership Disputes
Conflicts between business partners, LLC members, or shareholders can destroy a company. We help clients resolve these matters through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
Insurance Disputes
If your insurance claim has been denied, delayed, or underpaid, we take on insurance companies to recover what you are owed.

From fraud and misrepresentation to tortious interference with contract or business relations, we aggressively pursue justice for individuals and companies harmed by wrongful acts.
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.
