Personal Injury Law
Coping with a personal injury is difficult for you and your family. Not only do you lose a source of income, but you have the added burden of paying for medical bills, vehicle repair costs, and additional expenses.
In these circumstances, an insurance settlement offer can seem tempting. But, you should know that insurance claim adjusters are paid by insurance companies to resolve your claim as quickly and inexpensively as possible. Once you sign an insurance agreement, you waive your right to file a lawsuit in the future.
Call 800-445-3425 before you decide to sign an agreement. We offer free 30-minute initial consultations. We represent clients in the following types of personal injury litigation:
- Auto Accidents
- Motorcycle Accidents

Evidence is easily lost or destroyed in the days and weeks following an accident or injury. Our attorneys work quickly to help you obtain the evidence you need to prove your claim in court. If necessary, we work with experienced investigators to gather evidence for your case. We also refer clients to doctors and hospitals who are qualified to assess the extent of your injuries. These steps are essential to helping you file your claim.
Estate Planning & Elder Law
An estate is simply the accumulation of your assets and debts over your lifetime. Our attorneys are familiar with the complex laws involved in the following types of cases:
- Wills & Trusts
- Estate Administration
- Estate Planning
- Elder Law
- Guardianships
Estate planning is often a discomforting experience. But, it goes a long way in preparing you and your family for your death. Through estate planning, you get to decide what will happen to you, your children, your assets, and your debts after your death. Moreover, you give your family the peace of mind of knowing that your wishes were honored after your passing.
Estate administration involves the process of probating an estate and distributing the assets among the heirs. Our attorneys take the time to understand what our clients need us to do and evaluate the legal issues involved. We provide a consolidated approach to estate administration to ease the transition of a loved one's passing.
Our elder law practice often centers around issues of parental guardianship. When the topic of a parent's capacity to take care of themselves becomes a matter of controversy, our attorneys are hired to guide the conversation and prepare the paperwork. In terms of elder law, our attorneys represent both parents and children in deciding what is the appropriate course of action.
