Civil disputes are conflicts where your money, real estate, or reputation is at stake. A neighbor flooded your apartment and refuses to pay. A debtor disappeared with your funds. An insurance company undervalues your claim. A contractor abandoned unfinished work without returning your advance payment. In such matters, emotions are poor advisors. You need clear calculation and knowledge of procedural traps.
