Personal Attention From a Full Service Firm

Big house Condos Commercial

 

 

 

 

 

There will always be an attorney and a paralegal working on your file. Your case will get the attention it deserves and we encourage our clients to contact us with any questions they may have as the file progresses.

We also represent clients in legal matters involving:

  • Short sales. We began working on short sales as soon as the real estate market took a drastic downturn. We understood that many people bought homes in the prime market at top dollar and took out large loans. We knew a large number of homeowners would need to address the possibility of foreclosure. Short sales were a solution to foreclosure and we were one of the first firms to handle these files.
  • Real estate. We help with the sale, purchase and refinancing of commercial and residential properties.
  • Homeowner protection and construction law. We represent homeowner clients in disputes involving contractor misrepresentation, incomplete work and construction defects.
  • Personal injury. If you are injured in an auto accident, slip and fall, defective equipment, or other accident, we will represent you in your claim and litigation. Our office has handled several thousand personal injury cases over the years and will also assist you in getting coverage for medical treatment from the insurance company.
  • Workers' compensation. If you have been injured at work, you are entitled to disability and temporary medical benefits. We help you navigate the workers' compensation system to get the benefits you deserve.
  • Municipal law. We defend clients against substantial fines, loss of driving privileges and other penalties following charges of traffic violations, drunk driving and municipal ordinance violations.
  • Family law. If you are going through a divorce or need to modify child custody and support, we can help you with all of your family law matters.
