Our Practice Areas
Our team’s experience in personal injury law spans generations.

Personal Injury
Our personal injury services cover a wide variety of accidents, including auto accidents. Car accidents are one of the leading causes of injury in the United States and can cause devastating injuries, some of which can include broken bones, burns, spinal cord and neck injuries, head and brain trauma, amputations, and more.
Medical Malpractice
Doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals are constantly trusted by patients to put a patient's interest first and to keep patients safe. Sometimes this does not happen. Medical malpractice can alter the lives of victims and even cause death. We have helped many clients who have been misdiagnosed and incorrectly treated, including children injured as a result of negligence at birth.
Victims may feel intimidated by the concept of filing a claim against a medical professional or hospital, but those at fault should be held liable for the injuries and damages caused by their negligence. We are not afraid to be a voice for you during this challenging time.
