“Dear Brian:
Thank you for all your help and patience in dealing with the boys. Thank God they are not my sons. They thought they could take over and dictate the terms of the estate. Thanks to you, they were stopped.

Contact us to speak with an attorney about any of the following:
Construction Law – We represent construction professionals, building owners, and home owners. Recently we forced an insurer to pay for water damage to a home, went to trial to defend an engineer, filed liens for roofing contractors, obtained court orders removing groundless liens against homes, and represented home buyers whose seller and realtor hid or did not disclose building defects. Our construction law knowledge allows us to navigate the entire landscape of issues that arise, including homeowner insurance for property damage, mechanics liens, construction defects, construction contracts, warranties, arbitration, and architect and engineer liability. We also handle boundary disputes and trespass claims.
Disability insurance law, accidental death insurance, and life insurance law – We represent clients fighting for short term and long term disability benefits, life insurance and insurance for accidental death. We have an ongoing lawsuit in federal court against a life insurance company which lapsed a policy just before the insured died.
Employee rights - We represent employees in workplace matters, including unlawful discrimination, family leave and medical leave, pregnancy rights, ADA, breach of contract, noncompete contracts, unpaid wages, and separation agreements. We recently won an arbitration hearing for an Arab American who faced discrimination.

Personal injury – slip and fall, auto accidents, biking injuries We represent a patron who slipped in a busboy’s puddle, a lady who tripped over a ramp in front of a grocery store, and a young woman rear ended at a stoplight. We have been handling cases like these for twenty five years.
