Civil Litigation

Civil Litigation

Sometimes no matter how much preparation or execution is invested in into a contractual matter, someone falls short of their obligations. Whether due to negligence, shortage of funds, misunderstandings, or any other reason, litigation is often the proper mechanism to protect and enforce your rights. When considering litigation, you must take into account not only the cost of litigation, but also the probability of success on the merits as well as the likelihood of recovering your judgment.

Due to the complexity of litigation, and the changing laws and procedures, to provide our clients with the best legal representation possible, we focus our litigation to the subspecialties of law listed on our website.  These matters traditionally pertain to business and real estate issues, including, but not limited to:

  • Mortgage Enforcement and Defense
  • Mechanic Lien Enforcement and Defense
  • Short Sales, Modifications, REO Sales Representation
  • Eviction Enforcement and Defense
  • Lease Disputes and Agreements
  • Residential and Commercial Closings
  • Association Enforcements and Disputes
  • Condominium Matters Including Collection
  • Title Insurance Issues, Lien Removal
  • Loan Package Preparations and Compliance
  • New Construction and Conversion Issues

While we are fully prepared to litigate your legal matters, we always encourage you to evaluate the practical and economical considerations when deciding whether to initiate a lawsuit, settle your case, or walk away.

Criminal and Traffic

CRIMINAL & TRAFFIC

Most criminal matters will be governed by the formal charges stated against you. This will not only determine what the prosecutor must prove, but also designate the jurisdiction and local procedural rules, and provide the range of possible sentencing. Sentencing can consist of combination of fees and fines, supervision, conditional discharge, probation, or jail or prison time. When dealing with a criminal issue, you must consider not only the possible outcome of your trial, but also auxiliary matters such as possible immigration problems, suspended drivers license, prior criminal history, violation of previous court orders, expungement possibilities, and even employment and education matters.

Although you have the basic rights such as: to demand a jury trial, to confront witnesses, to have an attorney, and to produce evidence, each case must be carefully analyzed based on the factual occurrence prior to determining whether we will assist our client in plea bargain negotiations, or take the matter to jury or a bench trial. We assist our client with matters involving:

  • Felonies, Misdemeanor DUI, Reckless Driving
  • Driving Without a License
  • Driving on a Suspended License
  • Shoplifting – aka Retail Theft, Drug Charges – aka Possession of Control Substance (PCS)
  • Battery, Assault, Property Crimes, Expungement
  • Drivers License Issues, Secretary of State Hearings
  • Hit & Run, Fraud Charges, Perjury

Criminal law requires immediate action and careful review of the possible consequences. Admissions made by the defendant can be devastating to legal defense. Unless otherwise instructed, do not talk to anyone about your case.
