Personal Injury Attorney
When you are injured, you have a right to receive compensation from the responsible party. To receive fair compensation, you often must commence a lawsuit to prove that the other party is at fault and that your injuries are serious. This can be a very time-consuming and complicated undertaking and countless problems can arise.
What if you can’t find the at-fault party? What if the at-fault party blames you or someone else, has little or no insurance to cover your injuries, or claims you were not even injured or were injured but have fully recovered? How do you know if a settlement offer is a fair one? How do you represent yourself in a jury trial if the case does not settle? You need an experienced personal injury attorney who can address the hundreds of issues that arise in a typical case and ensure the best possible outcome.

Personal Injury AttorneyProduct Liability Attorney
When you are injured while using a consumer or industrial product, there is a definite possibility that the product, and not your use of the product, was the problem. For example, a seat belt might not fasten properly, an electronic bike or skateboard might have defective hardware or software, or cooking equipment might explode. Determining how exactly the product malfunctioned can be difficult, sometimes requiring the assistance of engineers, designers and safety experts.
A defect may be based on a faulty design or faulty manufacturing, and the way to prove each one is different. Sometimes it is enough to just show that the product did not perform as safely as an ordinary consumer would expect, even when the product is being misused. You need an experienced product liability attorney with a background in engineering and technology to ensure that the product’s manufacturer, designer, and distributor are held accountable.

Product Liability AttorneyTraffic Citation Attorney
A typical reaction when a person is given a traffic citation is: how do I get this ticket dismissed? Many people believe that traffic cases are simpler than criminal cases so can handle the case on their own. A traffic trial is much shorter than a criminal trial, but still involves the presentation of documentary evidence, testimony from parties and witnesses, cross-examination, lodging of objections, among other things.
For those who do represent themselves through a traffic trial, most admit that it is a time-consuming process and wonder if they could have achieved a better result in less time with an attorney. In many cases they could have. You need an experienced traffic attorney to handle all court proceedings for you, file all necessary paperwork, instruct you on everything that must be done by you before the court trial, and help ensure the best possible outcome.

Traffic Citation AttorneyCriminal Defense Attorney
When you were arrested, you probably felt sad, angry and fearful all at the same time. You know you are innocent, or just made a mistake that will not happen again and want another chance. After your arrest, it is common for formal charges to be brought against you by the county’s District Attorney’s office. When this happens, it is critical that you seek advice from an experienced criminal defense attorney.
A good attorney will explain the elements of the offense, what defenses you have and how likely those defenses are to succeed, whether or not you should accept a plea deal or take the case to trial, among other things. A good attorney will also represent you in all in-court proceedings, as well as guide you on how to complete your sentencing requirements after a plea or trial.
