Commercial Litigation
Commercial Litigation typically involves every type of dispute that can arise within the business context. Whether it is a breach of contract claim, shareholder dispute, or consumer fraud claim, hiring an attorney with a creative legal approach and personal commitment to achieving her client’s goals is critical. The ability to resolve a dispute with practical solutions at the pre-litigation stage is key to a strong client relationship.
Real Estate / Construction Litigation
The seller failed to disclose a material defect in the residential disclosure statement. Your roof is leaking as a result of your contractor using defective materials. The bank is about to foreclose on your home. We need help with filing a mechanic’s lien. What should we do? Retain an attorney.
Health Care Litigation
With the increasing number of senior citizens in this country being admitted into nursing homes, assisted living facilities and other senior living care communities, the number of cases involving abuse and neglect are growing. Part of the problem is the cost of finding competent caregivers. The remaining problem lies with the failure of health care facilities to simply monitor their own compliance with OBRA, the Nursing Home Care Act and the IDFPR Rules and Regulations.
