• Personal Injury Law involves the rights and remedies that someone has when they are involved in a car accident, slip and fall, or some other accident involving the negligence of another.

• Typically, this type of negligent conduct is covered by an insurance policy, whether it be by a bodily injury policy in a car accident, homeowners policy, or some other type of insurance plan.

• We handle every type of personal injury case, including car accidents, slip and falls, medical malpractice, sexual harassment and wrongful death. Each type of case requires a different investigation of facts, different legal research and motions to obtain the necessary discovery, and different analysis of liability. Also, no two personal injury cases are the same, even within each category. It requires an extreme attention to detail and customized strategy in order to obtain the best possible outcome for our clients. We pride ourselves in taking the time to know you, learn about your case, and offer a bespoke solution to your needs.

• The steps involved in filing a personal injury claim are many. First, you need to compile all of the necessary evidence for an insurance representative to evaluate your claim. Second, you need to summarize this information and provide a demand for what you are seeking which is both reasonable and all encompassing. Third, you need to allow a reasonable timeframe for the insurance to evaluate your demand and request additional information.

• Fault is determined based on the violation of traffic laws, and based on accident reconstruction principles that determine the mechanism of impact between vehicles in a car accident, or between a person and dangerous condition in a slip and fall incident. Liability can also be proven by other forms of evidence, such as cell phone records which show that the at fault party was using their phone and distracted during the incident, or by witness testimony from passengers or nearby pedestrians regarding their observations in the minutes and seconds before the incident. There is never one way to investigate a personal injury case. Oftentimes, you have to exhaust all possible investigative methods in order to establish your theory of liability, and disprove any other theory of liability.
• If you are partially at fault for an accident, you are still entitled to collect payment for your personal injuries based on the percentage of fault that is not attributable to you. Reach out today to discuss your options.

A victim can collect medical expenses, also called special damages, based on the entirety of past medical treatment received as well as anticipated future medical expenses, which typically has to ve proven with a doctor's prognosis or recommendation. Aside from special damages, a victim can also claim lost wages, future lost earnings, pain and suffering, emotion anguish, loss of consortium, and diminished capacity. These are all non quantifiable and testimonial based harms that increase the value of your case and settlement amount.

• Insurance companies are just businesses at the end of the day. They have metrics to reach in order to reach record profits, and they have the teams and resources to fight against every type of case efficiently and effectively. That is why it is so important to hire the right lawyer from the outset. Your first impression to the insurance company is through your lawyer. If you make a bad first impression, it could sabotage your chance of receiving a good and fair settlement, and possibly because of other objective factors about your lawyer such as past settlement amounts and a high volume of cases held by that lawyer, it could lead to a delay in your case settlement for up to a few years. Insurance companies will never admit this, but they rank attorneys based on their ability and skills objectively like athletes with stat cards, and keep track of their weakness and desperation to settle early on

• It is important to hire the right lawyer from the outset of your case. Simply put, it shows that you mean business and will not be strong armed or manipulated by the insurance company. You need a lawyer to halt all communications between you and the insurance company. If you ignore the insurance company and don't hire a lawyer to take over the communication, that could mean the denial of your claim due to lack of good faith. If you speak to the insurance company and provide them information to verify the merits of your claim, chances are you will be pressured into providing information that will harm your claim and will lead to a much lower settlement, or even no settlement at all. Your credibility is the most important part of your case. You are the key eyewitness of your own case. The insurance company is trained to extract inconsistent statements from you. It is best to declare from the outset that you have an attorney, and due your due diligence to find the best attorney possible for your specific type of case, so you don't regret it later. A lawyer's services are well worth the percentage they earn in the settlement amount. That is because they work tirelessly to maximize the value of your claim.

Business litigation refers to the process of resolving disputes related to commercial and business issues through legal proceedings. This can involve contract disputes, partnership disagreements, shareholder issues, intellectual property claims, and other conflicts arising in a business environment.

Common disputes include breach of contract, fraud, employment disputes, partnership or shareholder conflicts, business torts (like defamation or interference), intellectual property infringement, and violations of non-compete agreements.

The timeline can vary significantly depending on the complexity of the case, court schedules, and whether the case settles out of court. On average, it may take several months to a few years to fully resolve.

Yes, many business disputes can be resolved through alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods like mediation or arbitration, which are often faster, cheaper, and more private than court proceedings.

If your business is sued, consult an experienced business litigation attorney immediately. Preserve all relevant documents, avoid discussing the case publicly, and do not communicate directly with the opposing party without legal counsel.

Cryptocurrency is a form of digital or virtual currency that uses cryptography for security. It operates on decentralized networks based on blockchain technology, which ensures transparency and eliminates the need for intermediaries like banks.

Blockchain is a distributed ledger that records all transactions across a network of computers. Each block contains a list of transactions, and once it's full, it's linked to the previous block—forming a chain. This makes it secure, transparent, and resistant to tampering.

The legality of cryptocurrency varies by country. Some countries allow its use and trading freely (e.g., the US, Canada), while others have restrictions or outright bans (e.g., China). Always check local regulations before investing.

Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency and remains the most widely recognized and valuable. Other cryptocurrencies (called altcoins, like Ethereum, Binance Coin, and Solana) often offer additional features like smart contracts, faster transactions, or energy efficiency.

Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile and considered risky. While they offer high potential returns, they can also result in significant losses. It's essential to research, understand the risks, and never invest more than you can afford to lose.

Entertainment law is a legal field that covers the legal services provided to the entertainment industry. This includes film, television, music, publishing, theater, and digital media. It involves contracts, intellectual property rights, defamation, licensing, and more.

Common contracts include talent agreements, production contracts, distribution deals, music licensing, publishing agreements, non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), and option agreements for scripts or ideas.

Copyright law protects original works of authorship such as songs, films, scripts, and art. In entertainment, copyright ensures that creators and producers maintain control over how their content is used and receive royalties for its distribution and reproduction.

An entertainment lawyer negotiates contracts, protects intellectual property rights, resolves disputes, advises on business deals, and ensures legal compliance in production and distribution processes across all forms of media.

Yes. This falls under the “right of publicity,” which protects individuals from unauthorized commercial use of their name, image, likeness, or voice. Violating this right can lead to legal action, especially in advertising or merchandising.

Criminal law is the body of law that relates to crime. It involves the prosecution of individuals by the government for acts that are classified as criminal offenses, such as theft, assault, murder, and fraud. The purpose of criminal law is to maintain public order and safety by punishing unlawful behavior.

Criminal law deals with offenses against the state or society as a whole and involves punishment such as imprisonment or fines. Civil law, on the other hand, involves disputes between individuals or organizations and typically results in compensation or other remedies, not punishment.

Criminal offenses are generally categorized into:

• Felonies: Serious crimes (e.g., murder, rape, robbery).
• Misdemeanors: Less serious crimes (e.g., petty theft, simple assault).
• Infractions: Minor violations (e.g., traffic violations).

An accused person has several rights under criminal law, including:

• The right to remain silent
• The right to a fair and speedy trial
• The right to legal representation
• Protection against double jeopardy and self-incrimination

In criminal law, the burden of proof lies with the prosecution, and they must prove the defendant’s guilt "beyond a reasonable doubt." This is a high standard of proof because the consequences of a conviction can be very serious.
