Estate Planning lawyer at Gregory M. Janks, P.C.
Without knowing the facts of your matter, it can be said that as a general proposition that you may dismiss any litigation you have brought and that will "stop" the court proceeding. Questions about jurisdiction, conflicts and the like can be researched by your lawyer and you can be given advice on how to proceed after the research, which can include Motions before the court to rule on whether there is jurisdiction, whether there is a conflict of interest that requires some sort of action by the court, etc.
