Our Areas of Practice
Our areas of legal practice include, but are not limited to, the following:
Personal Injury
Have you been recently involved in a motor vehicle accident? Are you suffering life-altering injuries after an incident at your workplace? While accidents can and do happen, many instances are often preventable. If you believe that your injury is a result of the negligent acts of another, our legal team will fight tirelessly so that you can receive just compensation.
Workers’ Compensation
On-the-job injuries are unfortunately common in today’s society, and they are often times directly caused by the negligence of a co-worker or the employer. If you have been injured on the job, it is your right to receive workers’ compensation benefits in order to compensate for the expenses of your injury as well as the time required off work.
Bankruptcy
Do you feel the burden of financial debt? Are you concerned that you will not ever pay off the loans that you owe? Are you overwhelmed with continual phone calls and letters from creditors?

DUI Defense
If you have been arrested for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, it is imperative that you contact an attorney immediately to fight on your behalf. This is a serious criminal offense, and if convicted it could result in extensive fines, probation, license suspension, and even possible jail time. Do not take this charge lightly; your future may be at stake.
Family Law
