CIVIL LITIGATION

Civil Litigation in San Diego: Built for Trial. Ready from Day One.

At Jones Trial Attorneys, we don’t just prepare your case for settlement—we prepare it for a jury.

Our firm is built on the foundation of trial advocacy, and we bring that mindset to every stage of litigation. From pre-lawsuit strategy through discovery, motion practice, and trial, we approach each case with a clear, focused question: How will this play with a jury?

Whether you’re a business owner defending your company, a plaintiff seeking justice, or an individual navigating a complex dispute—you need a firm that’s not afraid to go the distance.

We are that firm.

Civil Cases We Handle

We represent plaintiffs and defendants in a wide range of civil matters, including:

• Business and Contract Disputes

Breach of contract, partnership disputes, misrepresentation, business torts

• Real Estate Litigation

Commercial lease disputes, specific performance, fraud, co-ownership conflicts

• Tort Claims

Intentional torts, defamation, fraud, nuisance, interference with business relations

• Employment-Related Disputes

Trade secret theft, noncompete violations, breach of fiduciary duty

• Injunctions and Emergency Relief

Temporary restraining orders (TROs) and preliminary injunctions

We are selective in the cases we take—but when we’re in, we’re all in.

Strategy-Driven Litigation with a Trial Focus

While many firms focus on pushing paper or pressuring settlement, we focus on persuasive storytelling, trial readiness, and tactical leverage. Our approach:

• Early case theory development – We find the narrative that moves juries and judges alike
• Aggressive discovery – We pursue key witnesses, documents, and digital evidence relentlessly
• Pretrial motion practice – We file and defend motions with purpose—not just to posture
• Trial-tested preparation – We use demonstratives, experts, and voir dire strategy from day one

This mindset gives us power at the negotiation table—and confidence in the courtroom.

Business Owners: We Understand What’s at Stake

We regularly represent San Diego entrepreneurs, startups, and small businesses in bet-the-company disputes, including:

• Breach of contract or warranty

• Unfair competition and trade secrets

• Partnership breakups and member expulsions

• Business fraud and fiduciary violations

• Vendor, supplier, or client disputes

Because we also help businesses prevent litigation through smart contract drafting and compliance, we understand the full lifecycle of a dispute—and how to protect your company at every stage.
