PRACTICE AREAS
Personal
Injury
All states have placed limits on the amount of time you have to file a civil lawsuit after you've suffered some type of harm. There are different deadlines depending on the type of case you're asking the court to hear. A law that sets this time limit is called a statute of limitations. The "clock" usually starts on the day of the accident that caused the injury. If you fail to get your lawsuit filed before the statute of limitations window closes, the court system will likely refuse to hear your case, and your right to compensation will be lost, unless some exception applies to effectively extend the deadline. If you have been injured and would like to explore your options, you don't want to wait to find the right attorney.
Contracts
Many aspects of life involve legal contracts, such as applying for an auto loan, buying a house, agreeing to a computer software's terms and conditions, and signing employment related paperwork. A contract is essentially a promise recognized by law that can be enforced.
Contract law falls under a state's common law. As such, court interpretations may vary between states. Contracts are needed when one of the parties involved makes a promise. To be legally binding, the contract must involve some sort of promise or agreement. It is wise to always consult a legal professional before signing a contract.

Expungements
Expungement refers to the process of sealing arrest and conviction records. Though the details vary from one state to the next, most states' laws provide that once an arrest or conviction has been expunged, it need not be disclosed, including to potential employers or landlords. A criminal record can create difficult downstream consequences, whether the record is for having been arrested, convicted (or both).
Estate Planning
Regardless of where you live, you should have several basic estate planning documents in place; a will, a durable power of attorney for finances, and a medical directive. Death is one of the few certainties in life and can come at any time or following a debilitating illness. In any event, planning your estate while relatively young can ensure that it is handled according to your wishes.
DUI & DWI
