As attorneys, one of the most common questions we hear from clients navigating a legal dispute is whether they should go straight to court or if they should attempt mediation first.

This decision can be challenging and depends on a number of factors. So, with that in mind, we wanted to share a practical overview of what mediation is, when it can be a good fit, and when traditional litigation may still be the better route. Swipe for more.

A consultation can help clarify your options if you are unsure whether your situation is a good candidate for mediation. That said, if you have questions about mediation or would like to discuss whether it is a good fit for a dispute you are navigating, please do not hesitate to reach out. I am here to help.

If you own a business, the legal protections that come with incorporation are one of the most valuable things your business structure provides. However, those protections are not unconditional. Sometimes, in cases of misconduct, courts will “pierce the corporate veil” to hold owners accountable.

Swipe through to understand what piercing the corporate veil means, when it happens, and what business owners can do to protect themselves.

If you have questions about how to remain legally compliant, do not hesitate to call our team. We are here to help guide you.

When a crash happens, fault is not always one-sided. In some cases, both parties may share responsibility. That is where comparative negligence applies. Comparative negligence is a legal doctrine that reduces an injured person’s compensation based on their percentage of fault.

Insurance companies may attempt to shift blame to reduce payouts, so even a small change in fault percentage can significantly impact your recovery. Swipe for more information.

If you have been injured and are concerned about shared fault, do not make assumptions about your case. Contact us to discuss your situation and protect your right to full and fair compensation.

Costs and outcomes are often top of mind when considering litigation. Two of the most common questions clients ask involve financial recovery and what happens after a court decision is issued. With that in mind, we wanted to provide clarity about what may happen at the conclusion of a case.

💠Will the other side pay my attorney fees if I win? Generally, each side pays its own legal fees. However, certain contracts or statutes allow for fee recovery, and courts may award fees in limited circumstances.

💠What happens after a judgment is entered? If you prevail, the court may award damages or other relief. If payment is not made voluntarily, additional legal steps may be necessary to enforce the judgment.

If you have questions about litigation costs, potential recovery, or enforcing a judgment, call us to discuss your specific matter. We are here to help.

When a dispute arises, choosing the right path forward can significantly affect time, cost, and outcome. For those who wish to avoid litigation, two common forms of alternative dispute resolution, mediation and arbitration, are often presented as alternatives. While both allow parties to resolve matters outside of the courtroom, they serve very different purposes. Swipe to learn more.

If you have questions about mediation or would like to explore whether mediation is appropriate for your dispute, contact us to discuss your situation and next steps.

Regardless of whether you are attending a fireworks show or planning to put on a small display of your own, it is important to remember that fireworks can cause serious injuries if not used with caution. A couple of common types of fireworks-related injuries include:

🔹 Burn injuries account for 37% of fireworks injuries and often affect hands, arms, and exposed skin. Even sparklers burn at extremely high temperatures and can cause serious burns.

🔹 Eye injuries can involve permanent vision impairment when safe viewing distances are not maintained.

🔹 Lacerations, hearing loss, and respiratory irritation can occur when devices malfunction, explode unpredictably, or produce excessive smoke or noise exposure.

🔹 More severe injuries from fireworks typically involve aerial shells or mortars from fireworks and may lead to long-term disability.

While being aware of these injuries is key to preventing them, it cannot prevent them outright. Having dedicated legal support is key in the event of an injury.

Reach out if you have questions about legal next steps after an incident. We are always here to help.
