Personal injury law covers the legal claims that arise when someone is hurt because of another party's negligence or wrongful conduct — from car and truck accidents to slip-and-falls, premises liability, defective products, and serious catastrophic injuries. A personal injury attorney's role is to recover compensation for medical bills, lost income, future care needs, and the human cost of being injured.

Criminal defense covers everything from misdemeanor arrests and DUI charges to felony indictments, drug offenses, violent crime allegations, and complex state and federal prosecutions. The stakes — incarceration, a permanent record, immigration consequences, professional license exposure — make the choice of counsel one of the most important decisions a person will ever make.

Family law covers divorce, child custody and timesharing, child and spousal support, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, paternity, adoption, and domestic violence injunctions. These cases are emotionally difficult by nature, and the legal decisions made — particularly around custody, support, and the division of assets — shape a family's life for years.

Business and commercial litigation covers disputes between companies and between businesses and their partners, vendors, customers, and competitors. Typical matters include breach of contract, partnership and shareholder disputes, fraud and fiduciary duty claims, non-compete and trade secret enforcement, business torts, and complex commercial cases that may involve injunctive relief, accountings, and multi-million dollar exposure.

Real estate law covers the purchase and sale of residential and commercial property, leasing, development, financing, title disputes, zoning and land use, condominium and HOA matters, construction disputes, and the litigation that arises from any of these. In luxury and commercial markets, transactions routinely involve LLC and trust ownership structures, title insurance issues, foreign buyer compliance, and tax planning that benefits from coordinated legal counsel from the letter of intent forward.

Business law is the general counsel function for companies of every size — entity formation and governance, commercial contracts, employment policies, vendor and customer agreements, equity arrangements among owners, financing, regulatory compliance, and the day-to-day legal questions that come up as a business grows. For founders and operators, having a business lawyer engaged early prevents the expensive disputes that follow from poorly documented relationships and missing or ambiguous agreements.

Estate planning and probate law cover the documents and court processes that govern how a person's assets and decision-making authority are managed during life and transferred at death. Core estate planning includes wills, revocable living trusts, durable powers of attorney, health care directives, and guardianship designations for minor children.

Medical malpractice claims arise when a healthcare provider's failure to meet the accepted standard of care causes injury or death — including misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, anesthesia complications, and failures to monitor or refer. These are among the most technically demanding cases in the civil justice system.

Corporate law covers the formation, governance, financing, and transactional activity of companies — from venture-backed startups to closely held middle-market businesses to public companies. The work includes entity selection and structure, shareholder and board governance, equity issuances and option plans, mergers and acquisitions, debt and equity financings, joint ventures, and the negotiation of significant commercial agreements that move the value of the company.

White collar criminal defense covers federal and state investigations and prosecutions for offenses such as securities fraud, healthcare fraud, tax fraud, public corruption, bank fraud, wire and mail fraud, money laundering, antitrust violations, and FCPA matters. These cases usually begin long before any charge is filed — with grand jury subpoenas, civil investigative demands, search warrants, agent interviews, or notice that a client is a subject or target of an investigation.

Appellate law is the practice of challenging or defending trial court judgments before state and federal courts of appeal, and on petitions to state supreme courts and the United States Supreme Court. Appeals are decided on the written record, written briefs, and a short oral argument.

Burn injury cases are a specialized subset of personal injury and product liability law. Serious burns — thermal, chemical, electrical, or scald — typically involve extended hospitalization, multiple surgeries, skin grafting, scarring, disfigurement, and long-term rehabilitation.

Estate and trust law covers the design, administration, and litigation of wills, trusts, and the orderly transfer of wealth. Beyond core planning, it includes irrevocable trust structures, charitable planning, family limited partnerships, business succession, and the fiduciary obligations of trustees and personal representatives.

Intellectual property law covers the creation, protection, and enforcement of patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets. For technology companies, life sciences, consumer brands, media, and any business whose value lies in what it knows or what it has built, IP is often the most important asset on the balance sheet.

Immigration law covers family-based and employment-based visas and green cards, naturalization, asylum and humanitarian relief, removal defense, investor visas such as the EB-5 program, and the immigration consequences that arise from criminal charges, divorce, and changes in employment. The law is federal, but practical outcomes depend heavily on the specific consulate, USCIS service center, immigration court, or appellate body involved — and on timing, which is often everything.

Labor and employment law covers the legal relationship between employers and employees — hiring, classification, wage and hour rules, discrimination and harassment, retaliation, leave laws, restrictive covenants, terminations, and severance. It also covers the collective bargaining relationship between unions and employers, NLRB practice, and a growing body of state-specific employment regulation.

Private wealth law serves individuals and families with significant assets, business interests, and multi-jurisdictional planning needs. The practice integrates estate planning, tax planning, trust design, family governance, charitable planning, business succession, premarital agreements, residency planning, and coordination with family offices and outside investment, banking, and accounting advisors.

Bankruptcy law covers debtor and creditor rights, business reorganizations, and personal financial restructuring. Chapters 7, 11, 13, and Subchapter V serve different purposes — a Chapter 7 is a liquidation, Chapter 11 and Subchapter V are reorganizations for businesses (and some high-debt individuals), and Chapter 13 is a wage-earner repayment plan for individuals.

Civil rights law enforces constitutional and statutory protections against government and private actors — claims for excessive force and other police misconduct, wrongful conviction, prison conditions, First Amendment retaliation, Fourth Amendment violations, due process and equal protection claims, and discrimination claims under federal civil rights statutes and Section 1983. Many civil rights cases are brought against well-funded government defendants with qualified immunity defenses, making the choice of counsel critical.

Entertainment business law sits at the intersection of corporate, IP, and commercial practice — applied to film, television, music, streaming, gaming, podcasting, talent representation, sports, and the creator economy. The work covers entity structuring, financing and production deals, distribution and licensing, talent and management agreements, brand partnerships, equity arrangements in production companies and content libraries, and the long-tail rights and royalty issues that determine who shares in success over time.

Entertainment law covers the creative and commercial relationships in film, television, music, streaming, publishing, podcasting, gaming, and the wider creator economy. It includes contract negotiation for talent and creators, IP ownership and licensing, music publishing and recording deals, production and distribution agreements, brand partnerships, and litigation when those relationships break down.

Franchise law governs the relationship between franchisors and franchisees and the federal and state regulations that apply to the sale and operation of franchised businesses. The work covers FTC franchise rule compliance, state registration and disclosure requirements, franchise disclosure documents (FDDs), area development and master franchise agreements, encroachment and termination disputes, vicarious liability, and the often-litigated questions of joint employment and renewal rights.

IRS tax resolution is the practice of representing taxpayers in disputes with the IRS and state tax authorities — unfiled returns, audits, collection enforcement, levies and liens, payroll tax exposure, trust fund recovery penalty assessments, innocent spouse claims, offers in compromise, installment agreements, and appeals. For taxpayers facing aggressive collection or criminal exposure, the right attorney can mean the difference between manageable resolution and financial ruin.

Tax law covers the planning and resolution of federal, state, and international tax matters for individuals, businesses, and tax-exempt organizations. The planning side includes choice of entity, M&A tax structuring, executive compensation, partnership tax, international tax planning, state and local tax, and the tax components of estate and private wealth planning.

Workers' compensation law covers benefits for employees injured on the job — medical treatment, wage replacement (temporary and permanent disability), vocational rehabilitation, and death benefits for surviving family. The system is administrative, state-specific, and runs on tight deadlines and detailed medical evidence.

Environmental law covers federal and state regulation of air, water, soil, hazardous waste, and chemicals — CERCLA and state Superfund cleanups, RCRA hazardous waste handling, Clean Water Act and Clean Air Act compliance and enforcement, brownfields redevelopment, NEPA review, and toxic tort litigation. The practice serves industrial companies, real estate developers, municipalities, and parties who find themselves named as potentially responsible parties at contaminated sites.

First-party property insurance law covers claims by policyholders against their own insurance carriers — homeowners, commercial property, condominium associations, and business interruption claims arising from hurricanes, fires, water damage, sinkhole, theft, and other covered losses. When a carrier denies, underpays, or delays a claim, policyholders have legal remedies that include breach of contract, statutory bad faith claims in many states, and attorney fee-shifting provisions that put the cost of representation on the carrier when the policyholder prevails.

Health care law covers the regulatory and transactional landscape for hospitals, physician practices, post-acute providers, digital health companies, payors, life sciences companies, and the executives who run them. The work includes Stark and Anti-Kickback compliance, HIPAA and data privacy, Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, certificate of need and licensure, peer review and medical staff issues, fraud and abuse investigations, and the M&A and joint venture transactions that shape the industry.

Securities law covers the issuance, trading, and regulation of stocks, bonds, and investment products under federal and state securities laws and the rules of the SEC, FINRA, and the exchanges. The practice splits between corporate and transactional securities work — IPOs, registered offerings, private placements, ongoing reporting and disclosure for public companies — and securities enforcement, litigation, and investor disputes.
