Personal injury. If a client has a serious on the job injury we will bring the matter before the Workers Compensation Board. Cases before the Board are either schedule or non-schedule losses. The amount of damages depends on the kind of injury and average weekly wage before the accident. In the case of off the job injuries, liability must be shown on the part of the potential defendant. If a motor vehicle is involved, a serious injury must be shown. Typical cases are slip and falls, automobile accidents, medical malpractice and excessive force by government agents resulting in unjustifiable serious injur. Personal injury cases are taken on a contingent fee basis.

Estates, Trusts, Wills, Probate, Estate Planning and Elder Law. Depending on your wishes we can prepare a Last Will and Testament or Living Trust. We are prepared to discuss the advantages of both. If you are the named Executor under a Last Will and Testament, we can peition the Surrogate's Court to have you appointed the personal representative of the deceased and prepare the documents needed to transfer property to the named heirs. We can obtain Letters of Administration when there is no will. We can prepare Living Wills and Health Care Proxies and file Estate Tax Returns. We are familiar with alternatives to probate.
