In criminal cases, we often can get the charges dismissed or reduced.

For example, we:

  • Settled a case for $850,000 on behalf of a man who required multiple surgeries because another driver made an improper turn

Some our many verdicts and settlements can be reviewed on our website case results page.

Motorcycle accidents often cause death and catastrophic injuries. Motorcycles are simply no match for bigger cars and trucks. When motorcycle riders are in a crash, they almost always fall directly onto a hard surface, possibly hitting their head, breaking multiple bones, or even losing their lives. Our motorcycle accident attorneys hold other drivers liable for failing to obey traffic laws and ignoring your right to drive on the road. We also represent motorcycle passengers who were hurt due to the irresponsible actions of their driver.

Truck accident attorneys hold companies and drivers liable for failing to honor your right to safety

Truck accidents can be due to a product defect, cargo spillage, driving too fast, and for many other reasons. When a truck rolls over, often multiple people are injured in the attempt to avoid the truck. Drivers can be held accountable if they drove while tired, while drunk, because they were distracted, or because they failed to follow the traffic laws. Trucking companies and truck owners can be forced to pay for your damages if they failed to supervise their drivers and if they put profit (more shipments) ahead of public safety.

  • Failing to keep floors and sidewalks dry

Elevator accidents, swimming pool drownings, dog bites and many other accidents are often the responsibility of the property owner or the company hired to maintain the premises.

In some cases, it can mean having to spend time in jail.

Getting Your Criminal Record Expunged Often Means the Difference between Getting a Job and Losing a Job
