Car Accidents/Injuries

We are experienced at helping people who have suffered from personal injury get resolution and recover compensation. Most people who come to us have never consulted a lawyer concerning a personal injury. However, what has happened to them or their loved ones is serious enough that they are seeking counsel to see how to pay their medical bills and obtain compensation for a painful or permanent injury. Whether you have suffered a broken bone, a closed head injury, or lost a loved one, we can handle your claim and not let the insurance company take advantage of you. It's important that you speak with an attorney immediately after your injury so please contact us right away.

Civil Appeals

Not every person gets a good result the first time in court. We are experienced in helping you get that second chance. When cases are brought to an appellate court, there are a number of ways in which the case can be argued. Some of these arguments focus on showing that the trial court violated procedure in some way, thus invalidating the result. Others might suggest that injustice occurred, such as a judge refusing to admit evidence that was in fact admissible. An appeal is very time sensitive and an attorney must be contacted as soon as possible to preserve your rights.
