Indiana and Kentucky civil litigation lawyers
Civil litigation covers a wide range of legal practice that does not involve criminal charges and aims to recover damages or protect against injustice. At Dunlap & Nesmith, we represent clients in civil cases in Indiana and Kentucky courts. We focus our representation primarily in the following areas.
Employment
Although state and federal laws regulate employment and provide guidelines and protection against unfair practices, disputes frequently arise between employers and employees. We represent clients in lawsuits involving employment disputes, discrimination, sexual harassment, wage and hour disputes, wrongful termination, and employer liability, to name a few.
Violations of constitutional rights are prosecuted in civil court to seek restitution for damages. Cases we represent include:
| All types of discrimination Issues involving free speech Equal protection Due process Interference with voting rights Right to privacy | Police misconduct Excessive use of force False arrest False imprisonment Malicious prosecution Improper search and seizure |
Personal injury
When someone else’s negligence or wrongful act results in personal injury, you may be able to recover damages through a personal injury claim. We handle personal injury cases that involve:
| Auto accidents Wrongful death | Slip and fall Catastrophic injury |
Estate administration/ probate litigation
We provide representation for clients in matters involving wills and trusts. Estate administration involves proving the validity of the will, identification and appraisal of property and payment of debts and taxes, along with property distribution based on the will. Trust administration disputes and will conflicts can be resolved through litigation. We represent executors, conservators, trustees, and beneficiaries in litigation over issues such as mishandling the estate, undue influence, or fraud involving estate resources.
