Longueuil is distinguished by its urban density, its diverse neighbourhoods such as Saint-Hubert, Vieux-Longueuil or Greenfield Park, and a working population strongly involved in commercial or family relationships. These features make civil litigation potentially more complex. Our civil litigation firm adapts its interventions to these local specificities in order to offer targeted and effective solutions.

Evaluating your dispute in Longueuil: the first step
Before initiating an appeal, each case deserves a rigorous evaluation.

It makes it possible to measure the chances of success, anticipate costs and choose the appropriate route: negotiation, mediation or legal proceedings.
Our team conducts this assessment through an initial consultation: review of documents, contracts and correspondence, identification of possible remedies and concrete action plan.

Frequently asked questions about civil litigation in Longueuil
How much does a civil litigation lawyer cost in Longueuil?
Fees vary according to the complexity of the case. Most practices offer an initial consultation to assess your situation. Hourly rates are generally between $200 and $400 depending on the lawyer’s experience and the nature of the dispute.
What is the time limit for filing a civil action in Quebec?
As a general rule, the limitation period is 3 years from the day on which the right of action arose (art. 2925 of the Civil Code of Québec). For some remedies, such as in the case of latent defects in real estate, the time limit begins to run from the discovery of the defect.
Which court has jurisdiction over a civil dispute in Longueuil?
Disputes under $15,000 are the responsibility of the Small Claims Division. The Court of Québec hears disputes between $15,000 and $85,000. Beyond that, it is the Superior Court, district of Longueuil, which has jurisdiction.
Can you resolve a dispute in Longueuil without going to court?
Yes. Mediation, conciliation and arbitration are alternative methods of settlement recognized by the Quebec Code of Civil Procedure. These methods are often faster and less expensive than a trial.
