I have spent most of my adult life working in roles where I dealt with contracts, disputes and everyday conflict resolution. Over the years I realized how confusing it can be for regular people to understand what it actually means to sue someone or what happens when a disagreement turns into a legal claim. I am not a lawyer and I do not offer legal advice. I simply explain the general ideas behind lawsuits in plain language. My goal is to help people understand what a situation might involve before they decide their next step. I write in a straightforward way because that is how I learned to make sense of complex issues myself. If my explanations help someone feel less overwhelmed, then I have done my job.
