• Criminal Defense
  Attorneys involved in automobile collisions know the relevant traffic law, civil law and criminal law and how it affects your case, so it is vital to find one with the knowledge and experience to handle your claim.

• Traffic Violations
  When a traffic accident happens, it is very important for the accident victim to take certain steps. First and foremost, you should make sure that anyone who is hurt gets medical attention. This may mean calling 911 and having an ambulance come to the scene of the crash. Once everyone has been attended to, you should turn your attention to figuring out how the accident happened. Think about what factors lead to the crash. Was someone speeding? Were the roads slick from rain? Was there a vehicle malfunction? Use your cell phone to take photos of the accident scene. Try to take shots from close up and far away.

• Arson
• Hit and Run

Ask an officer for a copy of the report and keep this write-up for your records. Your lawyer will use this report in preparing your claim and fighting for your right to compensation.
