Representative examples of Brock Benjamin’s civil experience are two cases that worked their way through the system to be finally tried after COVID resulting in clear wins for his clients:
Indel foods owed a PA-46 Mirage that had been damaged. Dodson wrongfully asserted ownership of it. Indel after a trial on the merits was awarded the airplane, attorney fees and an additional $32,000 beyond what was awarded to Dodson. As the Court said regarding Indel’s position- And when it comes to the “most critical factor”—the results obtained—Indel succeeded, winning a declaratory judgment and more in damages than Dodson.
AV8RC LLC is a client who was owed for work done on a Beech 18. The defendant verbally ordered significant work and then refused to pay. Post trial the defendant was ordered to pay not only damages but also $29,000 in attorney fees. Defense counterclaim was disregarded totally by the Jury.
As contemporary society becomes more interconnected and complicated, legal disputes are inevitable. When controversies rise to the level of civil litigation, a protracted court battle could become an emotional and financial burden. This is why you need the advice and guidance of a seasoned litigator in your corner.
Located in El Paso, the Benjamin Law Firm represents a wide range of clients in civil litigation in multiple jurisdictions throughout the state of Texas or federally in the Western District of Texas. Although we often recommend seeking negotiated settlements, we are fully prepared to litigate any matter in state or federal court. We are comfortable representing clients and have a well-earned reputation for being tenacious litigators and honest brokers. When you are faced with an intractable legal battle, the Benjamin Law Firm is the experienced choice in civil litigation.
The term civil litigation refers to a lawsuit involving two or more parties seeking monetary damages or “specific performance” instead of criminal charges. Specific performance is a court order requiring a party to a lawsuit to take a specific action — such as an action under a contract.
The litigation process generally involves a sequence of steps:
Although our experience with negotiating enables us to resolve many cases before going to trial, we know our way around the courtroom, having tried both jury and non-jury trials. We are highly adept at all aspects of litigation, and focus our efforts during discovery to identify weaknesses in the opposition’s case. Keenly aware that disputes rise and fall on ediscovery — the discovery (or recovery) of electronic communications such as emails, text messages, website content, social media posts, and the like — we routinely collaborate with independent investigators, forensic specialists and financial professionals to collect and analyze digital evidence.
We are also highly adept at drafting the necessary motions and other court papers as part of our intensive preparation. At trial, we leverage our legal knowledge and courtroom presentation skills to fight for our clients’ interests. In the event of an adverse outcome at trial, we will consider whether an appeal is worth pursuing.
We routinely pursue and defend all types of cases, including:
We have a proven track record of success in any forum — state and federal court, administrative proceedings, arbitration or mediation. We are capable of handling significant documentation and complex data that is part of an extensive digital production.
By embracing the latest legal practice technology — programs such as CaseMap, Sanction, Trial Director, DTSearch and other litigation software — we effectively manage, organize and use discovery information to develop defenses and exploit the numerous facts that need to be addressed in complex litigation. While we have the skills and experience to prevail at trial, we are prepared to negotiate a settlement when it is in our client’s best interest.
At the Benjamin Law Firm, we are keenly aware that many of our clients have little experience dealing with the legal system, which can be confusing and complicated. We will take the time to fully explain how the process works and advise you of all your options. While many disputes can be resolved through good discussions and negotiations, we may advise you to decline any settlement offer that is not fair and reasonable. This decision to accept or reject a settlement will be based on your facts and our experience with actually having tried cases to have the experience to provide real concrete advice. Above all, our objective is to stop the other party from engaging in specific acts or conduct that is damaging to your interests.
