Birmingham civil litigation attorneys for serious disputes
When a legal conflict takes over your life
Trial lawyers for civil lawsuits
Civil litigation is how people and businesses resolve major conflicts outside the criminal system. It can involve breach of contract, property disputes, business fallouts, estate conflicts, or other situations where you need a court to step in. Maxwell Tillman represents clients in Birmingham and throughout Alabama who want advocates ready to fight in court when negotiation fails.
