Other Cases
Civil Rights
Our country is founded on the idea that its citizens are guaranteed certain rights, and those rights are guaranteed under Federal Law. Chiefly among those are the right to live without discrimination, the right to worship as we choose, the right to vote for our elected representatives, the right to due process, and the right to privacy. If you feel that your rights have been violated, call today to set up a free consultation. Rich has helped to achieve equitable outcomes for people like you that have had their rights disregarded at school, at work, in the community, and in many other instances.
Products Liability
Product liability is the idea that someone is protected by law whenever they encounter a defective product. This could be anything: vehicles, consumer electronics, medical implants, building materials, and more. If you've suffered damages or injuries due to a faulty item, you may be owed compensation.
Libel / Slander
Has your character or professional standing been defamed or besmirched somehow either verbally or in writing? If someone has caused damage to you by spreading these untruths, you may have a claim to compensation. Call us to help regain your dignity.
Employment Issues
Employment law covers a lot of territory to help ensure that employees are treated fairly. Federal and State laws govern hiring and firing practices, discriminatory treatment, unfair labor practices, a safe work environment, fair pay, and more. It can be confusing, and your employer may not be acting in your best interests. We can help you navigate this thorny environment and secure the compensation you deserve.
Environmental Torts
Has a corporation somehow polluted the land, water, or air where you live? Do you smell noxious fumes from a nearby factory or landfill? Is your groundwater contaminated? Have these problems devastated your neighborhood or community? Call today so we can help you secure the compensation you need to recover from this.
Dog Bites
If you or a family member has been attacked or mauled by a vicious dog, our tort laws protect you from the carelessness of negligent dog owners. Call Rich for help.
Insurance Coverage
The business of insurance can be complex. Insurance companies take advantage of customers from time to time and deny them the protections they have paid for. If you believe your insurer is not operating fairly under the law or in bad faith, call us today for a free consultation. We may be able to uncover a better outcome for you.
Nursing Home Negligence
Do you have a loved one or family member who has been neglected or abused after being entrusted to a nursing home? They are entitled to protections under federal and state law. We are ready to fight for your loved ones.
