Areas of practice

CIVIL LITIGATION

Lawsuits can come from almost anywhere – whether from a vendor in regards to a contract dispute, employee debates surrounding a wage and hour claim, to a product liability suit . We understand lawsuits can be stressful, cost prohibitive, time consuming, professionally and personally damaging. Having a legal team that effectively advocates your rights will minimize the strain on your business. Our attorneys have substantial courtroom and trial experience which has curated a thorough understanding of the law and in turn has prepared us to defend you from the debilitating effects of litigation.

EMPLOYMENT

Navigating the intricate legal necessities surrounding the hiring process can be an extremely overwhelming task. When an employer neglects accurate hiring procedure, fails to comply with state or federal compensation laws, forsakes contractual employment details, or improperly terminates an employee, the consequences can be cataclysmic. Safeguarding a business from the risks that the employer-employee relationship can entail by consulting with an experienced attorney is advantageous. We have substantial experience in employment law and litigation. Consult with our attorney today to determine proper protection from the natural risks involved in growing a business.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Business owners have collectively realized that the time and cost of resolving disputes inside a courtroom is enormously inefficient. Undertaking disputes outside of court through direct negotiation or through a third-party neutral is economical and productive. Miriam is an expert negotiators and advocates who have in-depth training in mediation and can provide professional mediation. Avoid the expensive and emotionally draining severities of litigation – consult with Miriam to determine how your business can resolve legal matters outside of a courtroom.
