Criminal Law

  At Gross McGinley, LLP, our criminal defense lawyers understand that anyone can find themselves facing criminal charges. We help clients understand the criminal charges and possible penalties they may be facing, guide them through the legal process, and preserve and protect their rights.
• DUI/DWI
  Driver’s license suspension, jail time, hefty fines, and revocation of professional licenses are just a few potential repercussions of being convicted of a DUI or underage drinking. Our DUI attorneys stand up in your defense to protect your rights and develop legal strategies that yield the most positive outcome.
• Wrongful Death

  Got a traffic ticket? What seems like a simple solution — paying the fine and moving on — sometimes results in larger consequences down the road. Our defense lawyers protect your rights, help you understand your options, and work to achieve favorable results for you.

Business and Corporate Law

• Corporate Law
  We added more than a combined 70 years of experience in civil litigation, banking law and creditor’s rights, real estate, business and corporate law, and domestic relations when Michael J. Piosa, Thomas E. Reilly, Jr., and Thomas A. Capehart joined in 2007.
• Mergers and Acquisitions
• Business Formation
• Business Disputes
  Specialized business attorneys know the law, negotiate well, have cultivated relationships with other attorneys, and — most of all — will fight for your best interests. Taking a DIY approach to address your business legal needs often yields less than optimum results.

  Gross McGinley’s attorneys thrive in complex commercial transactions, sports facility leasing licensing, and sports-related real estate development. We are here to assist athletes, sports organizations, athletic institutions, real estate developers, lenders, and many more.
• Construction Contracts

Employment Law

• Employment Contract
  The relationship between employer and employee is — by definition — contractual. Even without a written contract, both agree to their specific roles. Our attorneys collaborate with businesses and individuals to address a range of employment law matters that include employment contracts, severance agreements, restrictive covenants, and more.
• Severance Agreement
  We’re also well-versed in various contracts your employer may ask you to sign, including non-compete and severance agreements. Can you represent yourself? Sure — but our attorneys know the laws inside and out. We’re very familiar with the court procedures, and we know what information you need to win. And we can protect you from unfair tactics a business and its lawyers might use to win the case.

• Premises Liability
  Premises liability matters can generally be described as personal injury cases based on the negligence of a property owner in failing to use reasonable care in connection with his or her property. In relation to the sports world, premises liability matters often arise due to injuries arising from defective conditions at stadiums or facilities or other potential injuries which may occur while attending or participating in a sporting event.
• Construction Litigation
  Construction law involves many regulations and processes. When you work with a knowledgeable business, litigation, or real estate attorney, you receive the guidance and clarity you need to make informed legal decisions.

  Our reputation as tenacious litigators with a strong courtroom presence increased when Howard S. Stevens and his medical malpractice defense team joined the firm in 2008.

Trusts and Estates

• Estate Planning
  Many people think estate planning’s reserved for the wealthy. But the term “estate” refers to the sum of your assets (like a home, finances, property, vehicle, and legal rights). Just about everyone has an estate, and while thinking about end of life planning when you’re young or middle aged isn’t something most people like to do, it just makes sense. In fact...
• Wills
• Trusts
• Power of Attorney
  All estate plans should include a will, power of attorney, and — in some cases — a trust. These documents provide many protections as you plan for you and your family’s future.
