Injury Law

Severe personal injury claims and wrongful death claims require seasoned legal representation. More often than not, insurance companies, by practicing the tactic of delay and avoidance try to wear you down. They don't want to recognize that these cases involve serious and tragic losses experienced by a human being and their family. In so doing, they avoid taking ownership and accountability for their actions.

Let's face it, an accident can forever change your life. It impacts you and your family. To handle these types of cases requires a keen understanding of the myriad of issues that ou face from insurance coverage to property damage negotiation to resolution of a claim for bodily injury or for a death. We understand what it takes to get an insuance company or a wrongdoer to accept responsibility for careless and negligent conducct. We believe that each case is different becase each of our clients are unique in their own right. As a result we don't allow insurance companies to take a cookie cutter approach when it comes to our client's lives.

We are here to help our clients because sometimes you need to take a stand and do the right thing.

Sexual Abuse Law

Sexual Abuse and Assault

Over the past 22 years, our firm has represented children and adults who were sexually abused and assaulted by someone they trusted or by someone that had power and control over them. The perpetrators of this acts, generally, have violated countless other people without once being held responsible for their actions. Through their actions they have shattered lives, broken dreams, and destroyed families.

Coming forward is hard but it is part of healing. We have been legal counsel to many others who were courageous enough to come forward. It has been our privilege to help these courageous people hold the perpetrators of sexual abuse and assault accountable for their actions.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases

We view these type of cases as another form of sexual abuse. Typically, they arise because a loved one knew they had an STD and did not have decency to disclose its existence. In mild cases, the after effects can require life long treatment. In other cases, STD's can be a death sentence.

Claims of this nature require an aggressive approach since these perpetrators tend to blame the victim for their reprehensible conduct. We have the experience to get these types to the table or take them to court if necessary.
