Practice Areas

Personal Injury 35%

The general personal injury cases include premises liability, animal attack/bite claims, claims involving store owners, HOA claims, and various construction claims. I have handled both the plaintiff and defense. Note that I do not charge for initial consultations and generally am only paid if I am successful for the injured party. On the defense side I can usually find a retainer arrangement to fit the client.

Wrongful Death 30%

Tragedy strikes a family and the ripples of loss extend far beyond in most cases. Death claims require special attention to care for the family of the one they lost. Knowing what to do and when is of great value to the case and family. Families can release at least some of the grief by knowing the claim is being handled by counsel with a long record of success in the field. I do not charge for initial consultations and generally am only paid if I am successful for the injured party.

30%
Defective and Dangerous Products 25%

I have tried and/or handled claims involving a wide range of products. Products such as stud guns, mouth rinse, construction equipment failures, gas engines, diesel engines, boats, cautery instruments and other surgical supplies, beds, flooring, wax. I have had cases in these areas and many more over the years. Note that I do not charge for initial consults and generally am only paid if I am successful for the injured party.

Brain Injury 10%

Demanding because the client's future rest in my hands to maximize the value of the claim. Exceptional skill and resources are necessary as many times my client cannot testify, or can only do so marginally due to the very injury which prompted the injured person or family members to seek my consultation, which I gladly provide without expense.

Posted by Alice | October 26, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Elder Law

Outstanding Representation.

From our first meeting, Del Hovden and his team at TLD Law strove to make my family and me understand what might be accomplished in my mother's personal injury/elder abuse case and what could not, and why and why not - and then went out and succeeded brilliantly in obtaining justice. Explaining Cali...fornia issues was especially important for me since I reside in New York. Everyone of the TLD team that we dealt with was exceptional in their care of my mother's case and of our family's concerns. I recommend TLD Law in the highest terms to anyone needing legal assistance.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
