“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, tried cases defending engineers, 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 coverage for property damage, mechanics liens, construction defects, construction contracts, warranties, arbitration, and architect and engineer liability.

Disability insurance law and life insurance law – We represent several clients denied short term and long term disability.  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.

Falls, Auto and Bicycle Injury – 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.

Probate and probate/estate litigation – We advocate for individuals seeking appointment as a guardian or conservator after a loved one has become incapacitated. We represent parties when disputes arise over matters such as spousal inheritance, abuse of powers of attorney, fights over wills, trust interpretation or estate administration.

Social Security Disability – We restored benefits for a man whom Social Security discontinued because of his ex-wife’s actions.

Unemployment Insurance – for both employers and employees. Low, flat fee. Compare our rates to anyone else.
