Criminal Law

• DUI/DWI
  You might also be able to sue for punitive damages, which are rewarded by a judge or jury to penalize the defendant for egregious wrongdoing and recklessness. For example, punitive damages are sometimes used in drunk driving accident cases in which the defendant had a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level more than double the legal limit.

Employment Law

• Workers Compensation
  Injuries resulting from your employment are considered work-related injuries. Some are easy to identify and difficult to refute. They typically have a sudden onset and are obviously painful. But there are other, harder to identify work-related injuries that still provide grounds for a viable workers' compensation claim.
• Wrongful Termination
  State and federal law protects employees from discrimination on the basis of age, gender, race, disability, and status as members of the Armed Forces of the United States. Employment laws also guarantee leave from employment for certain family and medical events and for some military service.
