Litigation is defined as: a lawsuit; legal action, including all proceedings therein; contest in a court of law for the purpose of enforcing a right or seeking a remedy; a judicial contest, a judicial controversy, a suit at law. See Black's Law Dictionary, Sixth Ed. Litigation includes all the actions required in 'a suit of law' including, but not limited to: the drafting of pleadings, service of process, filing, response to service (whether appearance by counsel on objection, motion or pleading), and/or potentially an answer (or 'response'), and possibly counterclaims, affirmative defenses, discovery, motion practice, alternative dispute resolution (ADR), summary judgment proceedings and pretrial, and then possibly a jury or bench (i.e., judge only) trial itself.
Practically litigation means any time you will be before a judge, arbitrator or adjudicative body; in other words, when you are being judged you need a 'litigation' experienced attorney.
I have experience in all forms of litigation: from contract enforcement to employment discrimination, from foreclosure defense to lien enforcement, from divorce to criminal assault defense. If it involves a pleading, motion, ADR and/or a court room (i.e., an evidentiary hearing, a trial, or preparation for any of the aforementioned) before a judge or arbitrator, I have experience successfully representing individuals and companies in all capacities.
