PERSONAL INJURY
We thoroughly investigate your accident to establish liability (negligence). We then fully prepare your case to achieve maximum compensation for your injuries, for your present and future wage losses, and for your pain and suffering.

MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
Starting with detailed and accurate evaluation of your medical history, we also consult with experts to determine if the medical care delivered had been less than the professional standard of care. Among our successes are cases concerning:

  • Failure to timely diagnose cancer
  • Failure to diagnose aortic aneurysm
  • Failure to conduct adequate pre-natal screening
  • Nursing home negligence
  • Patient abuse in psychiatric facilities
  • Negligent monitoring of a patient under anesthesia
  • Medication errors
  • Failure to diagnose hip dysplasia in a young child
  • Burn injuries sustained during medical or surgical treatment

PRODUCT LIABILITY
Have you experienced an injury because of a product’s defective design, faulty manufacturing or a failure to warn of known or potential hazards? Products liability lawsuits are among the most difficult and time consuming cases to process, but our team of experienced attorneys is dedicated to exploring every opportunity possible to get you the justice you deserve.

WORKER’S COMPENSATION
We work quickly and vigorously to obtain benefits and compensation for victims of accidental injuries at work. In addition to handling your Worker’s Compensation claim, we always explore the possibility of bringing additional claims against other parties who may be responsible for your injuries.

EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION
Do you feel that you might have been singled out in the workplace on the basis of age, creed, disability, national origin, race, religion or sex? If so, you might be the victim of employment discrimination. The good news is, we can help.

FAMILY LAW
According to many studies, divorce is one of the most stressful of life events. Sensitive to these issues, we work to minimize stresses caused by the legal proceedings while looking out for your best interests. Our attorneys are experienced in all aspects of divorce and property distribution including child custody, child support proceedings, and visitation disputes and modifications.

SPECIAL EDUCATION
Each child should be able to reach his/her potential and become a valued and productive member of the community. With this in mind, we aim to obtain the best “free appropriate public education” (“FAPE”) permitted under the law for your child. Our extensive trial experience makes us excellent advocates at Planning and Placement Team meetings.  We also work hard so that you and your school can develop an Individual Education Plan (“IEP”) to facilitate your child’s progress in a measurable way.  If your school is not providing your child with a free appropriate public education, or not following your IEP, we are prepared to represent you at the next level during a due process hearing, mediation, or litigation, if necessary.

REAL ESTATE LAW
When it comes to your home or business, even the smallest details can take on a huge significance. So, if you’re ready to make an investment in residential or commercial real estate, our team of attorneys can make sure all of your affairs are in order, whether you hope to acquire, finance, develop, manage, lease or sell property of any kind.
