Criminal Law

• DUI/DWI
• Wrongful Death
  The negligent maintenance or operation of a truck, semi-truck, or tractor-trailer causes devastating consequences with catastrophic injury and death. These heavy-duty vehicles often exceed 75 feet in length, and with a full load can often weigh as much as 80,000 pounds or more. Those who drive and maintain these big rigs must be well trained, well-rested, and follow the rules of the road. When truck drivers and the companies that employ them fail to follow these rules, the law makes them responsible for compensation for wrongful death or any personal injuries that result.
• Traffic Violations
  Rollover accidents happen when drivers lose control of their trucks, whether from speeding, turning too quickly, cargo overload, or tire blowouts.

Property Law

• Premises Liability
  Slip and fall accidents are the most common premises liability cases. If someone slips and falls at work, on public property, or on private property due to negligence by the owner, then they may be eligible for compensation for their injuries under premises liability laws. Injuries sustained from slip and fall accidents can have serious consequences, including spinal cord damage, brain damage, broken bones, or even death, depending on how severe the fall was.
