DIVORCE, DISSOLUTION & LEGAL SEPARATION
Divorce may be one of the most difficult events you will ever face. The issues are
numerous and can include parental rights and responsibilities, division of marital assets,
valuation of assets, and many more.
Dissolution of marriage and divorce laws are complex and require legal representation by
a qualified, intelligent attorney that will remain focused on the outcome required to
protect your legal rights.
We will take the time to listen to your concerns and will help you decide on the best
outcome for your future. If you are considering filing for divorce or have been served
with divorce papers, contact our law firm for an initial consultation.
We will meet with you, listen to your needs, and make sure that you fully understand
how each decision you make will impact you and your family. We will ensure that you
don’t make emotional decisions over settlement details that will cost you money in
court, and may not have the positive, long-term impact that you desire. Mediation and
negotiated settlements are almost always better alternatives to divorce than courtroom
litigation. We will, however, fight aggressively for your rights when the other side
doesn't want to cooperate.

PERSONAL INJURY
Personal injuries are bodily injuries that happen to an individual. If the bodily injury is
the result of someone else’s wrongful or negligent act, a personal injury claim can be
pursued. Some examples of situations that can lead to a personal injury claim include
automobile accidents, falling or getting injured on someone else’s property, accidents
while traveling by airplane or train, and dog bites.
A leading cause of injury and death in America is automobile accidents/motor vehicle
collisions. According to national statistics provided by the National Highway
Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA), approximately six (6) million
automobile accidents occur each year, causing nearly 40 thousand deaths. Automobile
accidents (including tractor/trailer and truck collisions) are on the rise and are too often
responsible for these injuries and deaths.
We are experienced in handling all aspects of these serious personal injury cases, and
have consistently been successful in handling these matters for injured persons and their
families.
OVI DEFENSE & TRAFFIC VIOLATION DEFENSE
Being charged with an OVI (also known as DUI) is a serious matter that requires
experienced legal representation. We are focused on providing an aggressive defense that
gets the best outcome possible for our clients. We have assisted many people that have
been charged with either first time OVI offenses or repeat OVI offenses, and we may be
able to help you.
An OVI first offense of just .08% BAC can result in up to 180 days in jail, a fine in
excess of $1,000.00, court costs, and a driver’s license suspension.
If you have been charged with OVI, your first action should be to learn your legal rights.
Many drivers charged with OVI believe that they are required to talk to the police and
prosecutors and to take additional tests without an attorney present. Having an
aggressive, knowledgeable defense attorney can often make the biggest difference in the
outcome of your case.

- OVI (DUI) defense
- Vehicular assault
- Driver license suspension defense
- Driving without a license suspension

CRIMINAL DEFENSE
We represent clients in all matters of criminal defense, including misdemeanor and
felony cases, juvenile cases, and drunk driving (OVI or DUI). We provide legal criminal
defense representation for clients in state and federal courts at all levels, and we believe
that everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty. We know that there are
innocent people spending time in prison for offenses that they did not commit.
We prepare our clients’ cases for trial rather than rushing to a plea bargain, and are
recognized for our aggressive defense of our clients’ rights. We understand that being
arrested and facing criminal charges can be an embarrassing, confusing experience with
significant consequences. We also understand that you want to know what to expect,
and what will be the impact of the criminal charges on your life, job, and education. We
get the facts of the case, explain the criminal law process, assess options, and advise you
as to your potential courses of action.
If you have been charged with a crime, contact us right away. Early intervention can be
critical to the outcome of your case.
