Civil Litigation and Criminal Law

At the Washington, Virginia law firm of Baumgardner, Brown & Cupp, we assist clients throughout Rappahannock County and Virginia's Northern Piedmont area in cases involving civil litigation and criminal law.

Civil litigation

Civil litigation is the term used to describe any lawsuit filed in civil court. This includes everything from the moment the suit is filed and the opponent is notified of the complaint, right through settlement or trial and verdict if a settlement cannot be reached. For Baumgardner, Brown & Cupp, most civil cases involve matters related to eminent domainreal estate litigation, collections and contracts. Our attorneys also occasionally handle personal injury cases.

Collections—As a business owner, you must focus on your company's bottom line. When you sell goods or services on credit and your clients do not make timely payments it puts your company's solvency at risk. We assist businesses of all sizes in collecting the debts they are owed.

Contracts—The right contract can make or break a deal. We draft documents designed to protect your business's interests and holdings, and are adept at finding and loopholes in existing contracts and using those loopholes to your advantage.
