We are proud to have secured millions of dollars in compensation for our clients over the years.

Civil Rights and Employment Litigation: Civil rights and employment litigation are significant areas of our practice. We represent clients before state and federal trial and appellate courts in lawsuits pertaining to various employment matters.

We are well-versed in the current laws and know the defenses that can obtain satisfactory results.

We frequently advise clients on preventive and cost-effective alternatives to litigation such as arbitration, mediation, and negotiation.

We have successfully resolved claims against a number of local businesses, national hotels, and retail stores where these property owners have failed to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition.

Products Liability: We have successfully represented injured parties against the manufacturers, distributors, and sellers of defective products of many kinds, from household appliances to commercial equipment. Our firm has the resources and experience to pursue claims against well-known product manufacturers in meritorious cases involving significant injury or death.

Nursing Home Litigation: Neglect and abuse of the elderly in nursing homes and other adult care facilities is unfortunately all-too-common. Our firm is familiar with state and federal legislation and administrative regulations governing nursing homes, and has successfully resolved claims on behalf of nursing home residents and their families.

Governmental Liability/Sovereign Immunity Claims: There are unique laws relating to the liability of governmental entities such as administrative agencies, police departments, counties, cities and even some hospitals. Special procedures are mandated for the presentation of claims, and governmental entities and their employees may be wholly or partly immune from civil liability, depending upon the circumstances of a particular claim. Please contact us if you have questions about a potential claim involving governmental liability.

Insurance Coverage Disputes: We also handle a variety of insurance coverage claims, including both first-party claims (involving your own insurance company) and third-party claims (involving the insurance carrier for another party who may be responsible for payment of your claim if its insured was at fault). We have been involved in the successful prosecution of claims involving automobile PIP and uninsured motorist insurance coverage, homeowners insurance coverage, health insurance coverage, disability insurance coverage, and life insurance coverage, among others, and are familiar with the statutory and contractual issues that are involved with these types of claims.
