Divorce / Custody
A divorce or custody dispute is a stressful event for everyone involved . It is also a time when your personal and financial affairs are impacted like no other.

Civil Litigation
Civil litigation is a broad term that involves any type of litigation that does not involve criminal, juvenile, family law, or landlord tenant issues. Generally civil litigation involves a monetary dispute, but it may also involve a request for equitable relief such as an injunction (an order requiring someone to do something), a declaratory judgment (an order declaring the rights of parties to a contract in dispute), or a suit for specific performance (an order requiring the sale of real property).

Criminal Law

A criminal charge requires that you attend trial and can result in incarceration and a criminal record. Any time you are charged with such matters you should hire an experienced attorney to appear with you in court and to guide you through the process.
