- Child SupportIf you are going through a divorce, your goals are different than in a personal injury case. While you may want to negotiate the most favorable monetary settlement, there are also other consideration, such as child support, child custody and visitation schedules, and the need to balance your objectives with the desire to preserve delicate family relationships.

- Guardianship
- Spousal Support
- Wrongful DeathIf you lost a loved one to the negligence or misconduct of another, the pain can be great, as can the funeral and burial expenses and the loss of future income or support your family member would have provided. We can help you recover compensation for these losses and expenses through an action for wrongful death brought against the responsible party. In appropriate cases, when the death was the result of gross negligence or a willful act, we will pursue punitive damages as well, to punish the defendant and serve as an example to others. No amount of money may make up for your loss, but being forced to shoulder the financial burden instead of holding the other party accountable is simply unjust.
- Traffic ViolationsCommercial trucking is an integral part of the country’s economy, and truck traffic crisscrosses the state continuously throughout the day night, seven days a week. Commercial truckers have a duty to drive with care and watch out for others on the road, just like the rest of us, but the trucker has the added pressure of delivering the cargo to its destination on schedule. In order to make up for lost time, drivers of 18-wheelers may be prone to speeding, taking stimulants, or simply putting in too much time behind the wheel, any of which create a dangerous risk of a serious truck accident.

- BankruptcyChapter 7 is also called a liquidation bankruptcy. It usually provides the most comprehensive relief for debtors. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy can usually eliminate your credit card debt, medical bills, deficiency balances on repossessed vehicles, and many other types of unsecured debts. There are limitations on who can file Chapter 7, but most people we talk to DO still qualify for a Chapter 7 filing.
- ForeclosureChapter 13 bankruptcy is the second most common type of filing, and it requires you to pay a percentage of what you owe to the court over a period of three to five years. Sometimes, it is the best option if you are facing a foreclosure action on your home, because it allows you a little extra time to catch up on your mortgage while still remaining in possession of the property.
