SLIP & FALL ACCIDENTS
When you fall, there is always the expectation that you will get up, injury free, and simply walk away from the incident. However, falls often result in serious injuries, both internal and external.
Insurance companies often share the belief that if you fall, you do not suffer any injuries. Therefore, they will be quick to deny your claim, leaving you in a helpless position. You need a lawyer to ensure that you are made whole, and that you do, in fact, walk away healthy and compensated.
If you have been involved in a slip and fall accident, stand your ground and seek legal counsel. Call us today for a free consultation!

BICYCLISTS / PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTS
As social media becomes prevalent in our society, so does the increased use of technology. Many people cannot wait until they get home to engage in their social media activities. This means, if you are a bicyclist or pedestrian, you run an increased risk of falling victim to a driver’s preoccupation with checking their phone instead of watching the road.
If you have been hit by an inattentive driver, do not hesitate, call us for a free consultation today!
CIVIL PROTECTION ORDERS
The purpose of a civil protection order is to prevent future harm to the person seeking protection. Seeking a civil protection order from the court is different from having a mandatory protection order issued. An action for a civil protection order is one where a party petitions the court for a temporary protection order on an ex parte basis due to imminent danger the responding party poses to the party filing the motion. A mandatory protection order, on the other hand, is one entered against a defendant in a domestic violence case, or a protection order issued as a result of bond or sentencing conditions requiring no contact. After a temporary civil protection order issues, the responding party must be served with a citation, which states the time, place, and location where the case will be heard. The hearing to make the temporary order permanent will occur no later than 14 days after the temporary protection order is issued. Whether seeking or defending against a civil protection order, understanding the statutory standard is the crucial part in building your case and proving your case to the court.
NAME CHANGES
Regardless of the reason why you seek a name change, whether it be for a child, an adult, or following a divorce, it is important that you understand and adhere to the proper procedures, so to successfully obtain a new name. This legal process can be convoluted and frustrating if not done correctly. It is also important to keep in mind that merely because the court grants your name change, there are additional steps you will need to undergo in order to implement the court’s order.
