Personal Injury
If you are injured as a result of an automobile accident, a slip and fall accident, as a result of the negligence of a professional, or a designer manufacturer’s flaw, you may be entitled to recover money from the persons and/or corporations who caused your injury. I can help you recover what you are rightfully entitled to by law.
Family and Divorce Issues
People who are beginning the Divorce process are often scared and confused as to what their rights are and what the divorce process entails. I provide aggressive representation throughout all divorce and family law proceedings. In order to prepare clients on what to expect during the divorce process, I have outlined the significant issues on that are present at the start of a case and provide general thoughts on concerns such as child custody, visitation rights, child support issues, maintenance (alimony) and orders of protection, as well as what to think about when dividing property and debts.

In this section I will explain what issues the court’s look at and what I can do to win your case and keep your driving privileges intact.
