Family Law

• Divorce
• Child Support
  In North Carolina, it is more difficult than in most other states for creditors to collect payments from debtors through wage garnishment.

  The consequences of a conviction of Driving While Licensed Revoked in North Carolina can be severe. Many individuals charged with this offense do not realize that it is a Class 1 Misdemeanor in North Carolina punishable by up to 120 days in jail depending upon the individual’s prior record. Additionally, a conviction of Driving While License Revoked may cause your license to be revoked for at least an additional year, and in some cases for individuals with multiple convictions, it may permanently suspend their right to obtain a driving privilege in this state.

Business and Corporate Law

• Corporate Law
  I graduated from Columbia University in New York City where I majored in film studies and played football. After law school, I went into the sports entertainment industry which was fun but not fulfilling. I attended DePaul University College of Law in Chicago and after law school worked for a small corporate law firm. Corporate law does not provide many opportunities for regular client contact which was something I enjoyed. I decided that family law would allow me to interact more with clients and I joined a family law firm in Chicago. As an associate of Rowland & Yauger, I am practicing family law as well as other areas of law which allow me daily contact with the clients I am representing.

Employment Law

  Rowland & Yauger represents people in claims for lost wages and medical treatment expenses against private industry, Federal, state and local government employers and their workers compensation insurers.

Property Law

• Premises Liability
  Property owners have a responsibility to reasonably maintain their premises free from hazards and defects which could cause harm to others who could reasonably be expected to enter the premises. Premises liability includes a variety of claims, including but not limited to injuries which occurred...
• Property Damage
  Getting into any kind of accident on the road is a frightening experience. Trucking accidents can be even scarier due to the large size of commercial vehicles. Many passenger cars suffer severe damage, causing drivers and passengers to experience severe bodily injuries. Medical bills, lost wages, and property damage repairs add up quickly, leaving you and your family in debt for an accident that wasn’t your fault.

Health Law

• Personal Injury
  If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident, call our law office today to learn more about your personal injury claim. Contact us today at 336-537-5547.
• Medical Malpractice
  Medical malpractice is another source of catastrophic injury claims. Errors during surgeries, misdiagnoses, or birth injuries can cause irreversible harm to patients and require ongoing medical care. Additionally, defective products, such as faulty machinery or unsafe consumer goods, can lead to life-altering injuries when they fail unexpectedly.
• Auto Accidents
• Social Security Disability
  SSD is another name for Social Security Disability, and is the type of disability benefits most “disabled” individuals seek. The Social Security Administration pays monthly benefits to disabled individuals who have paid into the Social Security system.

Finance Law

• Bankruptcy
  Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is a debt repayment plan for wage earners who have the ability to repay at least a portion of their debts. Under the new bankruptcy laws, Chapter 13 Bankruptcy generally will be the only form of bankruptcy protection available to you if your income is above the North Carolina median income.
• Foreclosure
  Foreclosure is a legal process that allows a lender to take back a mortgaged property from a borrower who defaults on their mortgage payments.
• Tax Law
  My primary practice is family law but I also will be practicing criminal and personal injury law. In addition to regular client contact, I chose family law because family law cases involve many different types of issues, child custody, child support and alimony, the division of property and debt, tax issues and jurisdictional issues and I enjoy solving a variety of issues.
• Debt Collection
  Further protections are provided you under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. We are familiar with how to enforce your rights under the law.
