Personal injury
Most people want to know: Who is responsible for the bills for property damage, for medical bills, and what about my lost income?
Some questions that may not be so obvious about personal injury are: Who are all the potential defendants? Does the law require any specific and timely notice to be given to certain defendants as a condition precedent to filing a claim?
Real Estate Transactions
Most people want to know: Am I getting what I’m paying for?
Most people may not be aware how the new RESPA regulations will affect their real estate transaction.
Estate Planning and Probate
Most people want to know: What do I need to do to make sure I leave my property to my loved ones?
Most people may not be aware how the federal HIPAA regulations may limit the power of a person you appoint as a voluntary conservator.
