Business and Corporate Law

• Business Transactions
  Commercial litigation is the process of taking legal action concerning one or more business transactions. When there is a conflict resulting from a business transaction, a commercial litigation lawyer is brought in to either settle the dispute out of court or in court, if the situation escalates. We work hard to try and settle the case outside of court to cut down on time, fees, and hassle.

Health Law

• Personal Injury
  Our personal injury lawyer provides legal representation for those who have been injured, either physically or psychologically, as a result of negligence or wrongdoing of another individual, government agency, company, or entity. If you feel your injury was due to an unsafe workplace or environment, you may have a case for personal injury.
• Medical Malpractice
  The basis of a medical malpractice case is similar to that of personal injury, however medical practice cases are a direct result of an act or omission by a health care provider. If a physician provided treatment that wasn’t up to standards or violated their code of ethics, medical malpractice has occurred. If this treatment causes injury or death to the patient due to the medical error, you have a case for medical malpractice.
• Auto Accidents
