Family Law

• Child Abuse
  Most traumatic brain injuries are the result of a vehicle accident, gunshot wound, sports trauma, or child abuse. Because of the nature of the injury, if you or a loved one has experienced a TBI you should contact a Northern California traumatic brain injury lawyer immediately. You or they may be entitled to monetary damages.

Criminal Law

• Criminal Defense
  Many people make the mistake of hiring an attorney simply because they are the closest to where they live. Don’t assume that the lawyer closest to you has the right experience and skills to handle your case. You should retain Stockton lawyers with proven records of success with similar claims. The closest firm to you may dabble in personal injury law, but they don’t specialize in it. If you need a Stockton auto accident lawyer experienced in severe auto accidents, you don’t want a lawyer specializing in criminal law or catastrophic claims just because they are closer.
• DUI/DWI
  Drunk driving is a prevalent factor in many auto accidents, including rollovers. When drivers get behind the wheel while intoxicated, their reaction times and decision-making abilities are impaired, making collisions more likely. Car accident lawyers are well-versed in handling drunk driving cases and can help victims of such negligence seek justice and compensation for their losses.

• Traffic Violations
  If the driver who hurt you in a bicycle accident was issued a traffic ticket or charged with a criminal offense in connection with the accident, this can be critical evidence of negligence. Under a legal theory called “negligence per se,†you do not need to prove that the driver should have acted differently under the circumstances.
• Fraud
  State Farm may also attempt to underpay insurance claims to prevent fraud. Insurance fraud is a widespread problem in the United States, with criminals filing false claims to obtain compensation they are not entitled to receive. State Farm may be suspicious of a claim and underpay it if it suspects fraud.
• Theft
• Misdemeanors
  In a hit-and-run accident, a driver leaves the scene without leaving identifying information, and someone other than the driver is injured or killed. A driver may be charged with Misdemeanor or felony charges if he or she leaves the scene of an accident without leaving identifying information.
• Assault
• Murder
  Getting hit by a car while walking or riding your bicycle is an awful thought. So the image of a pack of cyclists being run over by a SUV is nothing short of terrifying. Last year, four cyclists were injured in San Francisco’s Mission District after a man in an SUV allegedly ran them down in what the San Francisco Chronicle calls a “six-minute rampage.†The driver, David Mark Clark, now faces four counts of attempted murder, and his attorney has unofficially said Clark will seek an insanity plea.
