Covington Civil Litigation Attorney

Kentucky lawyer handles trials and appeals in contract and tort matters

When a legal conflict arises, the lawyer you hire to protect your interests can be the difference between a satisfactory result and one that leads to frustration. At the Law Office of Robert A. Winter, Jr., I am a Covington civil litigation attorney with 40 years of experience representing Kentucky and Ohio clients. I am familiar with courts throughout the greater Cincinnati area and am particularly attuned to the legal conflicts often experienced by businesses in the region. In contract and tort cases, as well as in other forms of civil litigation, my firm provides counsel that helps companies and individuals move forward with confidence. 

What is a Kentucky civil litigation case?

Civil litigation occurs when two or more parties become involved in a noncriminal legal dispute. One party may be seeking monetary damages because they allege someone else harmed them by violating a contract, failing to act in a reasonably safe manner or engaging in tortious misconduct such as interference with business relationships. My firm also handles matters involving administrative decisions made by government bodies. Whether you’re engaged in a simple disagreement over a deal that went bad or a highly complex business dispute involving multiple litigants and sophisticated legal claims, I can formulate a comprehensive strategy tailored to your situation and needs. From there, my firm will safeguard your rights and diligently pursue an appropriate outcome. 

Effective advocacy for the civil litigation process in Kentucky and Ohio

My firm concentrates on securing successful resolutions while minimizing disruption to clients. Accordingly, my firm often is able to obtain a satisfactory outcome through negotiation or mediation. Should going to trial be the best option for you, I will guide you through each step of the civil legal process, which can include filing a complaint or answer, conducting discovery, arguing pre-trial motions and delivering a persuasive argument in court. 

Firm handles Kentucky and Ohio breach of contract disputes

Many civil disputes involve breach-of-contract claims. As a business law attorney with four decades of experience reviewing highly complex contracts, I can pinpoint the relevant language in a given agreement and give you a sound assessment of each party’s rights and responsibilities. Depending on the circumstances appropriate relief might be rescission of the contract, restitution to the victim of the breach, invocation of a liquidated damages clause or an injunction compelling the violating party to perform their contractual obligations. If you’re seeking one of these remedies or are fighting off what you believe to be a frivolous breach-of-contract lawsuit, I am ready to assist you. 

Skillful Covington attorney appeals cases to the next level

A trial is supposed to be conducted with the utmost fairness and adherence to the law. We know this does not always happen, and if a verdict went against you, it might be due to a legal error. I am an accomplished appellate advocate who can identify material errors that occurred at trial. Should you choose to bring an appeal, I’ll give you a thorough analysis of the relevant law and the likelihood of reversal. From filing the notice of appeal through brief drafting and oral argument, my firm provides the highest levels of representation and professionalism. Whether you’re appealing a decision or looking to have a lower court’s ruling affirmed, my research and advocacy skills will bolster your chances for a favorable decision. 

Civil litigation counsel for consumer protection matters

American commerce rests on fair exchanges between buyers and sellers. However, consumers are frequently at a disadvantage in these transactions because they might not have any way to know about latent flaws or other potential problems with the goods or services they are purchasing. Several statutes have been enacted to guard against consumer fraud, and monetary damages might be awarded to someone victimized by unethical business practices. If you believe you have a valid consumer protection claim or if you think your company is being targeted unfairly, I’ll assess the facts and guide you on how to proceed.
