Practice Areas

Helping Citizens with Their Government

Litigation

Society benefits when the government is held accountable for its actions. Constitutional rights such as free speech must be defended when they are infringed upon. Our firm can help you challenge such laws and government activity, as well as other civil rights violations. Through enforcement of the open meetings and public disclosure acts, citizens, the owners of government, can know what is going on. We work for the owners.

Administrative Law

A vast amount of government action is not carried out by the courts or the legislature. Entities such as local boards and state and federal agencies are increasingly involved in the regulation of citizens lives every day. If you are involved in administrative hearings and appeals, or want to participate in the rulemaking process for regulations that affect your rights, we can be of service.

Helping Employees With Their Employers

Employment Law

Our law firm can represent you in actions against your employers, both private and public. Whether it involves whistle blowing, harassment, discrimination, and retaliation, or wage and contract disputes, we can meet your needs.

Helping Consumers With Their Purchases

Consumer Protection

The law affords protection to consumers who have been wronged by those they patronize. Inaccurate credit reports can be a major burden. Deceptive advertisements or sales pitches can result in your paying more or receiving less than promised. A monopoly or other unfair trade practice can result in increased prices or limited selection. We can assist you with these and various other consumer issues.

Helping With Everyday Legal Problems

General Civil Litigation

Sometimes you need to turn to the legal process to settle your common grievances. You may have a noisy neighbor or a property line dispute. Maybe you need help collecting a debt, or someone damaged your home, land, or personal property. These are but a few of the many dilemmas where our firm can help.

Litigation Defense

No one likes that feeling in the pit of their stomach when they are served with court papers, or even simply threatened with suit. If someone is trying to take you to court, we can sit down and explain the situation, discuss your options with you, engage in attempts to settle, and mount a legal defense. Come to us, and we will work hard for you during this difficult process.

Legal Advice

Sometimes the best way to win a lawsuit is to avoid one altogether. When you need advice before you act, we can explain the legal issues to you. Our goal is to meet your needs to the best of our ability, which includes preventing problems before they arise.
