Strategic Representation in Real Estate, Business, Foreclosure & More

Disputes can arise in almost every area of life and business. When they do, you need an experienced advocate who understands both the law and the practical realities of negotiation and trial. At Knight, Stockton & Cunningham (KSC Law), our civil litigation attorneys represent individuals, families, and businesses throughout Oklahoma and Arkansas in a wide range of disputes—inside and outside the courtroom.

Whether you are facing a conflict over real estate, a business dispute, a foreclosure, a professional liability claim, or a family-related matter such as grandparents’ rights, our goal is simple: protect your interests and pursue the best possible outcome.

Civil litigation refers to disputes between parties where money, property, contractual rights, or legal obligations are at stake. These cases can be complex, time-sensitive, and emotionally charged. Having a knowledgeable Oklahoma or Arkansas civil litigation lawyer on your side can make the difference between a costly, drawn-out conflict and a strategic, efficient resolution.

KSC Law handles civil cases in both state and federal courts, as well as in mediation, arbitration, and pre-suit negotiations.

Every case is different, but our guiding principles remain the same:

We start by analyzing the facts, documents, and applicable Oklahoma or Arkansas law to understand your risks, options, and potential outcomes.

Not every case should go to trial. We evaluate opportunities for early resolution through negotiation, mediation, or settlement—while always preparing as if the case may ultimately be tried.

We explain your options in straightforward terms and keep you informed about case status, strategy, and next steps so you can make confident decisions.

Whether we are defending a lawsuit or pursuing a claim on your behalf, our primary focus is protecting your rights, your assets, and your long-term interests.

Clients across Arkansas and Oklahoma turn to KSC Law because we offer:

• Multi-disciplinary experience in real estate, business law, foreclosure, and professional liability
   
• Local, state-specific knowledge of Oklahoma and Arkansas courts and procedures
   
• Trial-ready representation, with a willingness to take cases to court when necessary
   
• Negotiation skills aimed at efficient, cost-effective resolutions
   
• Personal attention, so your case is never just a file number
   

Whether you’re an individual, a family, a small business, or a professional, we tailor our approach to your specific needs and goals.

Do I really need a civil litigation attorney?

Civil cases can involve strict deadlines, procedural rules, and complex legal arguments. An experienced civil litigation attorney can help you avoid costly mistakes, preserve important defenses, and position your case for the best possible outcome.

Will my case go to trial?

Many civil disputes settle before trial through negotiation, mediation, or other alternative dispute resolution methods. We explore all reasonable options but are prepared to go to trial when needed to protect your interests.

How long does a civil case take?
The timeline depends on the court, complexity of the case, number of parties, and whether the matter can be resolved early. Some cases settle in a few months; others require longer litigation. We’ll discuss expectations and updates with you throughout the process.

If you are involved in a dispute—or expect one may be coming—it’s important to speak with an attorney as early as possible. Evidence can be lost, deadlines can be missed, and your options may narrow over time.
