Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 - Provides a procedure for eligible individuals with regular income to pay all or a portion of their debts through planned payments over an extended period. Only those portions of regular income that are not necessary to pay living expenses are used to pay claims.
Chapter 11 - Also known as "reorganization". Chapter 11 allows time to repay your debts and propose a plan of repayment to creditors.
Chapter 7- Also known as liquidation bankruptcy or straight bankruptcy. Chapter 7 gives you a fresh start by eliminating your debt.
Commercial Law
Also known as Business Law is the body of law which governs business and commerce and is often considered to be a branch of civil law and deals both with issues of private law and public law. Commercial law regulates corporate contracts, hiring practices, and the manufacture and sales of consumer goods.
Criminal Law
Involves prosecution by the government of a person for an act that has been classified as a crime. In a criminal case the state, through a prosecutor, initiates the suit, while in a civil case the victim brings the suit. Crimes include both felonies (more serious offenses -- like murder or rape) and misdemeanors (less serious offenses -- like petty theft or jaywalking).
Family Law
Family law encompasses the legal and emotional issues of divorce, spousal maintenance (alimony), child custody and support, domestic abuse and adoption. Consultation, mediation and, if necessary, litigation on these important personal matters requires careful representation selection.
Personal Injury
Personal injury involves injury to an individual. This area of law allows the injured person to sue in a private action called a civil action or known in the legal community as a tort action. A "tort" is a wrong against a person. Not every accident or injury is recoverable in a court of law. Consulting a lawyer in this field will provide a basis on whether to pursue an action in court.
Traffic Law
Traffic law violations have been divided into three categories-felonies, misdemeanors, and infractions or violations-with the lesser offenses handled in a more informal manner. Based on the seriousness of the offense, conviction for a traffic violation could seriously impair your daily life. Even if your offense seems minor, such as failure to stop for a stop sign or improper passing, a conviction can lead to a significant increase in insurance rates and the violation can follow you for years.
Wills & Probate
A will may be made by anyone "legally competent" (At least 18 years old and of sound mind). Probate is the process by which the affairs of the deceased are settled.
