  • Motorcycle Accidents – motorcyclists suffer some of the most serious personal injuries and often require aggressive legal representation to claim what they deserve.
  • Nursing Home and Medical Malpractice – neglect and abuse in medical settings account for many unnecessary injuries and deaths. We’ll help you or a loved one get justice.

  • Do you have much experienced dealing with these prosecutors and police officers?
  • What similar cases to mine have you personally handled before?
  • Which courts do you primarily work at?
  • Is my type of case the main type you handle as a lawyer?
  • How will you communicate with me?
  • What are your fees?
