2 THINGS YOU CAN DO
TO KEEP YOUR LAWSUIT FROM STRESSING YOU OUT
If you find yourself on either side of a lawsuit (and you’re not an attorney like me), it might be one of the most stressful situations of your life so far. However, as understandable as that stress is, believe me when I say you have no reason to worry. The main reason you should remain calm when you’re in the midst of a lawsuit is because the litigation process can take a long time — at least a year, or maybe longer. That means you’re going to be waiting a while for a verdict, and for your peace of mind. You can’t depend on that verdict to relieve your stress, because in the end, you’ll have let yourself be controlled by anxiety for several months. That’s just not healthy. That said, however, I believe there are two ways you can mitigate your stress, if not eliminate it, in the meantime. The first way is to understand the basic components of the litigation process . Typically, the litigation process will include the following steps:
The second way that you can mitigate your stress throughout the litigation process is by trusting your legal team . It might be your first lawsuit, but it’s certainly not ours. We know the process and the steps, and we’ve helped clients through them countless times.
