Criminal Law

• Wrongful Death
  When evaluating the possible compensatory damages you may be entitled to due to a wrongful death, it is important to consider several factors. First off, the type and amount of damages survivors can recover depends on their relationship to the deceased person. For instance, survivors can get reimbursed for the value of lost support and services prior to the death, and for the estimated value of lost future services and support.
• Fraud
  Ponzi schemes and investor fraud were already rampant in the 1990s and early 2000s, but these types of scams have become increasingly popular in the new age of “digital entrepreneurs” touting their success on social media and luring prospective investors towards potential financial disaster. Investors can suffer serious financial losses if they become the victims of Ponzi schemes. Unfortunately, it may be difficult to realize you are a part of a Ponzi scheme until it is too late. However, with help from a skilled investment fraud attorney, you can fight back against Ponzi schemes and other types of investment fraud.
