Practice areas
We take six kinds of case. If you're not sure which one fits, request a consultation and we'll work it out with you.
A civil case is a dispute between two sides where nobody is being charged with a crime. One side usually wants money back, or wants the other side to do (or stop doing) something.
We'll look at what happened, tell you honestly whether it's worth taking to court, and handle the paperwork and hearings if it is.
Criminal defence means representing you when the state accuses you of breaking the law. You have the right to a lawyer, and the earlier we're involved, the more we can do.
We'll explain the charge in plain words, check the evidence against you and speak for you in court.
Small claims court handles lower-value disputes with simpler rules and less formality, so cases usually move faster.
Many people handle small claims on their own. We can prepare you, write your filings or come along with you.
Administrative law covers disputes with government bodies: agencies, departments and the officials who make decisions about licences, permits and fines.
If you think a decision about you was wrong or unfair, we can help you challenge it.
An expungement is a court order that seals or removes an old arrest or conviction from your record, so it no longer shows up in most checks.
We'll check whether you qualify, then prepare and file the request for you.
An ex parte request is one the court hears from one side only, without the other side present. It's used when something is urgent, such as protection from someone who is threatening you.
These move quickly. Tell us it's urgent when you request a consultation and we'll treat it that way.
Tell us what happened. We'll tell you whether we can help, in plain words.
