Lexington's Judicial System
Representing businesses in legal matters can be tricky. On the one hand, it is almost always in the business' best interests to settle the case out-of-court. However, if the other party knows that you are not willing to go to trial, they are likely to use that as leverage against you.
The business lawyers at the Katz Law Group know this and are willing to go as far as it takes to protect your business' brand and your interests.
In Lexington, if your case involves less than $50,000, the Concord District Court will hear it. This courthouse is located at 305 Walden Street in Concord, Massachusetts. If it involves less than $7,000, a magistrate at this courthouse can preside over it in small claims court.
If your case involves more than $50,000, the Middlesex Superior Court will have jurisdiction. This courthouse is located at 200 Trade Center, 2nd Floor, Woburn, Massachusetts.
In addition to litigation, though, there are also alternative dispute resolution venues available, including mediation or arbitration.
