Accidents can result in extensive injuries and disabilities. In many such situations, my law firm has obtained settlements and court verdicts compensating our clients for various types of physical injuries, including death. Often what may appear to be a minor injury begins as a degenerative process that can become a serious medical problem. Certain types of trauma from relatively simple accidents can result in problems which often are overlooked by family doctors and emergency-room personnel and which only qualified specialists can diagnose accurately.

It is extremely important that an injured person, after getting initial medical care, retain an experienced and knowledgeable attorney who can guide him or her in the selection of appropriate medical specialists to evaluate symptoms. This is so the patient can document medical conditions that could degenerate into more serious problems at a later time.

As your legal counsel, I will follow up with all of the details in obtaining police reports, medical records, reports and bills, wage impairment information, witness statements, photographs and diagrams, and many other functions that are essential to preparing for the optimum monetary settlement or trial, should that become necessary. I am your personal-injury expert and will guide you through this process.

Domestic Relations / Family Law

Failing marriages / relationships have been increasing to “epidemic proportions”. Although the marital partners take lifetime vows, stresses and other pressures have contributed to the sad statistic that there are three divorces for every five marriages occurring each year. I have significant expertise in each area of domestic-relations law, including:

  • Divorce
  • Separation
  • Child Custody
  • Child Support
  • Paternity
  • Adoption
  • Property Disputes
  • QDRO

Regardless of the type of domestic-relations problem you may have, I provide a free initial consultation so that I can understand the issues and discuss a fair and appropriate fee arrangement with you. In uncontested matters, such as a straightforward divorce where there are no children and the other party has no objection, I can establish a fixed fee. In the more complicated matters, I charge on a reasonable hourly rate basis. In appropriate cases, I am willing to work out payments over time.

Probate Administration & Litigation

Unfortunately, death is inevitable. When someone dies, there may be significant and substantial legal ramifications if there is any property left behind by the decedent. Most of the lawsuits and other complex problems arise in the situations where the decedent has not left a valid will. Dying without a will may result in an estate being distributed differently than the individual would have wanted. I have significant expertise handling all probate matters, including:

  • Decedent's Estate Matters
  • Wills
  • Trusts
  • Contested Estates
  • Title Issues
  • Real Estates
  • Guardianships
  • Conservatorships
  • Structured Settlement Distributions
Criminal Defense

Criminal defendants faced with the possibility of going to jail or prison should always hire an attorney. The truth is, no matter what the person's intelligence or educational background, the criminal justice system makes it virtually impossible to do a competent job of self-representation. Each criminal case is unique, and only an attorney who is experienced in assessing the particulars of a case - and in dealing with the many variables present in every criminal case - can provide the type of representation that every criminal defendant needs to receive if justice is to be done.

If you are charged with a crime, it is a serious matter. The consequences may include jail or imprisonment, mandatory treatment, fines, or probation. You may also suffer the loss of important rights and privileges, such as voting and driving. A criminal conviction may cause you to lose your job or forfeit future employment opportunities. If you are not a citizen of the United States, a criminal conviction may cause you deportation, exclusion of the United States or denial of naturalization. It is important that you are protected by an attorney in whom you have confidence. I am available to consult with you regarding any criminal matter, including:

  • Assault
  • Drunk Driving
  • DUI
  • Domestic Violence
  • Drugs
  • Embezzlement
  • Extortion
  • Fraud
  • Manslaughter
  • Minor in Possession (MIP)
  • Murder
  • Sex Crimes
  • Theft
  • White Collar Crimes
