Business and Corporate Law: We provide a wealth of services to businesses and nonprofit organizations. For instance, we represent businesses in contract negotiations and litigation. We also assist nonprofit organizations and businesses in obtaining recognition from the Internal Revenue Service of their tax-exempt status under Section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. We can further provide representation in matters involving business formation, breach of contract, and business disputes.

Personal Injury: For over a decade we have been representing the rights of those who have been injured as a result of the negligence of others. We zealously represent injured persons against negligent drivers and vehicle owners, insurance companies, and large corporations. We will competently handle your injury claim, whether you were injured in an automobile or motorcycle accident, at work, or at a nursing home. We can also assist you in dealing with the wrongful death of a family member. If you have experienced an injury or the unexpected loss of a loved one, we will provide the degree of professionalism and sensitivity your sensitive legal matter requires.

Family Law: One of the most emotionally charged areas of legal representation is domestic disputes. Whether your issues involve domestic violence, legal separation, divorce, child custody, child support, division of marital assets and debts (equitable distribution), temporary spousal support/alimony, or lawsuits when a third party has intruded upon a marriage, your matter may be resolved through written agreement or by a decision of the court. In either event, we can provide a cost-effective approach to your domestic dispute. You should feel confident that your interests will be protected. Call or e-mail us today to schedule an appointment.

Criminal Law: If you have been charged with a crime, you have a right to appear in court with an experienced attorney at your side. You are entitled to have a knowledgeable and skilled lawyer assisting you in your difficult situation that may arise from your being charged with a misdemeanor, felony, speeding, or Driving While Impaired (“DWI”). We will provide you with an unsurpassed level of personal attention from the time you first make contact with us until the final resolution of your case. As there is never a convenient time to have to deal with a court case, we will make every effort to minimize the impact that your charge will have on your daily life. We will do everything we can to avoid your ever setting foot in a courtroom (though some non-waivable offenses will require your appearance). If you or someone you care about has been charged with DWI, a crime, or a traffic violation, call us today for aggressive and results-oriented legal representation.
