We serve clients throughout Monmouth County, from Holmdel to Asbury Park and from Freehold to Rumson, providing representation that is both knowledgeable and responsive to individual needs.

Our firm handles a broad spectrum of civil litigation matters, from routine contract disputes to multi-party business lawsuits.

Types of Civil Litigation We Handle

Civil litigation encompasses a wide range of legal disputes. Our attorneys have experience representing clients in matters including:

• Business and commercial disputes, such as breach of contract, partnership or shareholder disagreements, closely held business disputes, creditor matters, and business torts.
• Real estate and land use disputes, including boundary disagreements, commercial lease conflicts, zoning issues, and development controversies.
• Employment disputes, including wrongful termination, discrimination claims, and wage or benefit disputes.
• Insurance claims and bad faith litigation, helping policyholders enforce their rights when insurers fail to meet obligations.
• Defamation, slander, and other personal rights cases, protecting clients’ reputations and seeking appropriate remedies.
• Personal injury claims, representing individuals who have suffered harm due to negligence or intentional acts.
• Federal civil matters, including antitrust, intellectual property, civil rights, bankruptcy, and tax-related litigation.

By handling a diverse array of matters, our firm can address overlapping legal issues, ensuring that clients receive comprehensive guidance and coordinated strategies.

Dispute Resolution Beyond the Courtroom

Although litigation is often associated with trials, many disputes are resolved without ever reaching a courtroom. At Sanvenero & Cittadino, LLC, we emphasize alternative dispute resolution (ADR) as a way to save time, reduce costs, and achieve outcomes that meet clients’ objectives. Our attorneys have experience representing parties in mediation and arbitration, and some have served as mediators, arbitrators, and third-party neutrals. This dual perspective allows us to understand the process from every angle and advocate effectively for clients.

Negotiated settlements, mediation, and arbitration can be especially valuable in business and family disputes, where maintaining relationships or privacy is important. Even when litigation becomes necessary, our firm evaluates ADR options as part of an overall strategy to achieve the best possible outcome.

Business and Commercial Litigation

Businesses face unique challenges that can lead to disputes with partners, competitors, vendors, employees, or creditors. Our attorneys provide aggressive representation for companies of all sizes in Monmouth County, from small startups to established corporations. We handle breach of contract claims, shareholder disputes, creditor enforcement, and business torts such as fraud, misrepresentation, and unfair competition.

Because we also provide transactional business law services, we can anticipate potential points of conflict and structure agreements in ways that reduce the risk of disputes. When conflicts do arise, we develop strategies that protect our clients’ interests and minimize disruption to operations.

Real Estate and Land Use Litigation

Real estate disputes often involve high stakes, including property value, zoning, and development rights. Our attorneys represent clients in Monmouth County and surrounding areas in matters such as commercial lease disputes, land use and zoning conflicts, boundary disagreements, and real estate misrepresentation claims.

Commercial leases are a common source of litigation, and we assist both landlords and tenants in resolving lease disputes. Our attorneys review lease agreements, evaluate rights and obligations, and negotiate resolutions that preserve business interests. In cases involving property development or zoning approvals, we guide clients through the legal and regulatory frameworks to protect their investments and ensure compliance with local ordinances.

Employment and Personal Rights Litigation

Employment disputes and personal rights claims require both legal skill and sensitivity. Our attorneys assist employers and employees with litigation involving wrongful termination, discrimination, wage and hour issues, and breaches of employment agreements. For individuals, we handle claims involving defamation, slander, and other civil rights violations, ensuring that reputations are protected and legal remedies pursued when necessary.

By combining litigation experience with transactional knowledge, we can advise clients on both preventive measures and remedies when disputes arise. This proactive approach helps businesses maintain compliance while providing individuals with effective protection of their rights.

Insurance Bad Faith and Recovery

Insurance disputes can be frustrating and complex, particularly when insurers fail to honor valid claims. Our attorneys represent policyholders in Monmouth County in insurance bad faith claims, whether related to property, business, or personal injury policies. We analyze insurance contracts, identify breaches of duty, and pursue remedies that enforce clients’ rights. Our litigation experience ensures that clients have skilled advocacy if claims must be litigated, while our knowledge of alternative dispute resolution provides opportunities for negotiated settlements where appropriate.
