Other Practice Areas
Our staff is proficient in multiple areas of the law and this allows us to better serve our clients legal needs. To that end, we are willing to assist clients in following legal areas:
Nursing Home Abuse or Injury - the area of law focusing on the establishments that provide maintenance and personal or nursing care for persons who are unable to care for themselves.
Personal Injury - the area of law that involves civil law cases designed to obtain compensation for injury to your person. The personal injury attorney usually tries to negotiate with the opposing party or their insurance company. If necessary, and if the attorney thinks you have a good chance of winning, the case may go to trial. The main concerns in a personal injury case are negligence and liability. Before you can collect an award, your attorney will have to prove that the defendant is liable. To prove liability, the attorney must establish negligence. If there is a failure to exercise reasonable care to prevent injury or damage then there may be negligence. Once liability and negligence have been established, the judge or the jury may award money to compensate for medical costs, lost wages and lost future earnings as well as for pain and suffering.
Auto Accidents - accidents involving automobiles.
Wrongful Death - an area of law that seeks to provide compensation to the heirs of a person whose death was caused by the negligent, willful, or wrongful act, neglect, omission, or default of another.
Civil Law - dealing with all areas of the law that are not classified as criminal.
Criminal Defense - public law that deals with crimes and their prosecution. This area of law is usually governed by statute or ordinance.
Probate - the area of law dealing with the validity of wills, administration of estates and sometimes over the affairs of minors and persons adjudged incompetent.
Social Security Disability - the area of law assisting those who, due to a disability, require a program of public provision for the economic security and social welfare of the individual and his or her family.
