Areas Of Practice

If you have a legal issue that you don’t find listed here, please contact us to discuss it. If we can’t provide you with the service you need, we can direct you where to proceed next.

Wrongful Death Claims

The loss of a family member or loved one is a tragedy that can never be adequately compensated by a financial recovery. But our legal system allows only money damages for such a loss. There is no other way to punish the negligent party or to try to ensure they correct the faults that caused such a loss. Money damages can be paid for such items as loss of earnings, support, love and affection, medical expenses, and pain and suffering prior to the time of death among others.

After the loss of a loved one, the last thing the family wants to think about is taking legal action. But in many cases, prompt action is required to investigate the circumstances and to preserve evidence. Waiting to retain legal counsel can be damaging to any future claims.

Automobile Collisions

Auto collisions can range from merely annoying to completely disastrous for families. Our office has represented clients in thousands of automobile collisions over the years. We understand what should and should not be done in these cases. If you have been injured in an automobile collision, call us for a free consultation. We relieve our clients of the difficult decisions regarding insurance and investigative matters and let the clients concentrate on just getting well.

Truck Collisions

Just as collisions between a car and a motorcycle frequently involve serious injuries, collisions between a large truck and an automobile many times involve significant property damage and serious injuries or even death. Sometimes in truck collisions the insurance company will deny a claim for no reason other than to protect the driving record of the truck driver. Truckers must follow specific State and Federal regulations. It is important to retain a law firm that understands these regulations. A prompt and thorough investigation into the truck driver’s driving record, his “logs” and the condition of his tractor trailer rig are essential. We have handled many cases involving truckers and 18-wheelers.

Criminal Matters

We believe you are innocent until proven guilty. We will zealously represent you in both misdemeanor and felony cases. If for any reason we cannot represent you in a criminal matter, we will be glad to refer you to a lawyer who can help you.
