Federal Litigation Attorney

Washington, D.C. Federal Litigation Attorneys

The legal complexity associated with federal litigation limits the number of people who feel they can pursue damages through this system. Most legal issues—whether civil or criminal—are handled by the state courts. Because most lawsuits are state court-oriented, many attorneys have little to no experience in the federal court system. Additionally, the stakes in federal litigation can be very high with far-reaching repercussions. However, there are certain situations that require federal litigation or where federal jurisdiction applies. Further, the procedural rules attorneys must use in federal litigation cases differ from state courts and require much more preparation and attention to detail along with a thorough understanding of this highly specialized area of the law.

When you Need a Federal Lawyer

If you are put into a situation by another individual or business that requires federal litigation or need to bring litigation against someone else, it is important to know your legal rights and work with attorneys who are familiar with both your case and federal litigation rules. Even for the most seemingly straightforward legal issues, you will greatly benefit from consulting with an attorney who has the knowledge and experience required to explain all of your options, including what federal rules and procedures may apply to your case.

Certain legal issues are always handled by federal courts. These issues include federal laws prohibiting discrimination based on race, gender, color, national origin, or religion. Another common issue that federal courts litigate is when parties presiding in different states have civil issues. For example, if you are injured in a truck accident in Georgia, but the trucking company is based in Maryland, you will have to take your case to the federal court system. Finally, illegal actions that violate federal statutes must go through federal court. These actions include offenses like white-collar fraud, corruption, and conspiracy.

Understanding the Federal Court System

There are many different types of lawsuits that you can bring in front of state and federal courts. However, how your case progresses through the court system will depend on different factors of your case and how these factors play into the parties involved in the lawsuit. In some cases, the fact that federal jurisdiction exists may be enough to have your case transferred from state to federal court. The rules associated with state and federal courts have benefits and drawbacks, which you should weigh with the help of a knowledgeable and experienced attorney. By working with a federal litigation attorney at Antonoplos & Associates, we can help you evaluate your case and help guide you on whether you should file your lawsuit in state or federal court. In most cases, a lawsuit is eligible for federal court if it meets one of multiple of the following criteria.

• Constitutional Questions: The case raises U.S. Constitutional issues.
• Civil Rights: You can still use state laws, but federal law also permits legal action.
• Class Actions: These are intricate cases with multiple parties, often requiring federal resources.
• Environmental Law: Finally, federal regulations are given priority over state law.
