Civil Litigation
Access to the courts is among our fundamental rights as Americans. If your rights have been ignored, or you have been misled or mistreated, talk to us. We can help!
Consumer Protection
You work hard for your money. You have the right to expect a business to keep its promises and obey the law. It is easy to become the victim of a scam or sham business, or con artist. Talk to us if you need help, we have solutions.
Landlord and Tenant
Anyone who has been the victim of a greedy landlord, or had inconsiderate tenants, knows the feeling of betrayal that follows. We often can settle these disputes, and if necessary will go to court to protect you.
LGBTQ Gender Rights and Discrimination
We do not choose our gender or sexual orientation any more than we choose the color of our eyes, our height, or our race. Our Constitution and laws protect us. Let us protect you.
Racial Discrimination
If you think you may be the victim of discrimination, you have two choices: accept it and stay a victim, or learn about and protect your rights. Talk to us and let us help you.
Appeals
During a trial, litigation of any kind, or other criminal and civil actions, lawyers, prosecutors, and judges all too often make mistakes. These errors can often transform what should be a winning case into one with an unfortunate outcome, even a miscarriage of justice. The law guarantees us, in many circumstances, the right to appeal such errors and to seek redress in a higher court. It is vital, at every stage of your case, to have an experienced appellate attorney, who can litigate with your appellate rights in mind.
