Criminal Law

• DUI/DWI
• Wrongful Death
• Traffic Violations
  Though driving can sometimes seem like a very isolated activity, the reality is that it is a collaborative effort. At all hours of the day, there are other motorists on the roadway and the actions that they take may have a direct effect on your safety. It can be especially aggravating to become involved and injured in a car accident that is caused by another party’s negligent or reckless driving when you have taken all the appropriate driving and maintenance measures to promote roadway safety. Fortunately, you may have the ability to hold a negligent driver accountable for the harm that he or she has caused you.

• Real Estate Transactions
  Real estate transactions are often incredibly detailed and potentially complex for the inexperienced. Ensuring that your purchase, sale, or lease goes without a hitch is essential as the smallest misstep can result in irreversible damage. While executing a real estate transaction free of legal counsel is possible, having an attorney by your side who regularly handles such matters can be highly beneficial.
• Property Damage
  Whether it is an instant of lapsed attention or a prolonged pattern of irresponsible behavior, the negligence of another party can turn your world upside down. You may have taken every reasonable precaution to protect yourself or your loved ones from serious injury but there is no way to anticipate the actions of others perfectly, and therefore you may not be able to avoid a calamitous accident. When these disasters strike, they can leave you with physical injuries, property damage, and significant financial burdens due to lost wages or medical bills. Fortunately, it may be possible to seek financial compensation to address these concerns through a civil lawsuit.
