Areas of Practice
Workers Compensation
If you’ve suffered an injury on the job, then you have a right to compensation. Every state has a system which guarantees payment to injured workers, but there are many technicalities in the law. It’s best to get advice before acting. We have obtained much higher settlements or verdicts than what clients have been offered to settle by insurance companies, and it’s likely we can help you too.
Truck Accidents
If you’ve been involved in an accident with a commercial vehicle, you should know that although many of the same laws apply, there are also some significant differences. Since they use public highways for commercial gain, truck drivers are required to have special licenses and inspections, among other requirements. We’ve pursued dozens of claims against trucking companies, and won six figure verdicts for our clients. Call us today and we’ll put that experience to work for you.
Criminal Defense
It is unfortunately the case that in our system, innocent people often find themselves facing the full brunt of the law. We’ve won Not Guilty verdicts for numerous clients in both state and federal court. If you’ve found yourself accused of possessing controlled substances, fraud, embezzlement, or a DUI, we are here to protect you and your rights. Even if you are guilty of an offense, legal representation is critical to protect you from unnecessary or oppressive punishment. If you or a loved one find yourself charged with a crime, waste no time- call today.
Personal Injury
If you’ve sustained an injury away from the job, through no fault of your own, we may be able to help you recover the compensation you deserve. From car crashes, to forklift malfunctions, to water park accidents, our firm has experience navigating all kinds of complex legal scenarios for our clients. We don’t charge a consultation fee for injury cases, and we only collect a legal fee if we win. Call us today to see what we can do for you.
Motorcycle Accidents
Although the same rules and laws apply to cars and motorcycles, a collision is often far more serious for a motorcyclist. Unfortunately, juries can be unfairly prejudiced against motorcyclists, thanks to the reckless behavior of a minority of riders. We understand that most cyclists are very responsible people who are not at fault when a wreck occurs, and we have experience fighting for the rights of injured cyclists in court. If your loved one was hurt or killed on a motorcycle, you have rights, and you should contact us today.
Uninsured Motorist
If a wreck caused by an uninsured motorist has cost you bodily injury, medical bills, lost income, or other damages, you may be entitled to compensation. Even if you’ve been injured by someone insured at the minimum amount, you may still be able to recover damages under the same policy. The rules regarding uninsured motorist coverage are complex, but if you call us, we can simplify things with a free consultation. If representation is needed, we don’t charge a legal fee unless we win your case.

WrongFul Death

PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLES
If you are a pedestrian in a crosswalk and you are hit by a motorist who runs a traffic light, his liability insurance and your uninsured motorist insurance policy on your car (even though you were not driving) can provide coverage for your injuries. The same is true of bicyclist who is struck by a motor vehicle. Of course, the motorist causing the injury must be at fault under the facts of your case. Give us a call to discuss these claims and we can explain your rights and decide your best course of action.
