Scroll down to view the variety of areas I can assist you with today!
Collections
Collecting on an outstanding balance is frustrating without the proper resources. Some debt collectors use illegal tactics to intimidate debtors. These tactics could limit or prohibit potential recovery while putting you and your assets at risk. My experience with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) ensures my collection methods are lawful, ethical, and effective. I’ve assisted large financial institutions, small credit unions and individuals recover over $1 million from debtors. Contact me today for a free consultation and I will fight to get you every dollar you deserve
Communications
The roots of Communications Law lie in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution; an area constantly under attack over the past several years. However, Communications Law also includes copyright issues, defamation, and an individual’s right to privacy. Who better to assist with your Communications Law issue than someone with a communications background! Contact me for the best course of action to handle all your Communications Law needs.
Criminal Defense
Being charged with a crime sucks – there are no two ways about it. A criminal record can adversely impact your employment, family, and freedom. From simple assault to probation violations and everything in between, contact me right away to protect your rights and get your life back on track
Document Drafting & Review
Properly worded documents are essential in any business relationship. A slight misuse of a term may alter the entire meaning of a document. Courts often invalidate unreasonably ambiguous, confusing, or unconscionable documents in whole or in part putting you and your business at risk for damages.
As the son of a librarian who drilled proper grammar into my head for years, I’ve learned how to draft documents clearly and concisely. I use the Plain Language method to make documents easy to understand for all parties, significantly reducing the risk of litigation and subsequent invalidation.
Further, if someone presents you with a document full of jibber jabber and gobbledygook (both legal terms), contact me and I’ll review it to make sure you understand exactly what rights you receive or give up by signing and possible defenses to breach.
Landlord-Tenant
In a residential agreement, a tenant owes two general duties to a landlord – pay rent and avoid waste. If you are a landlord whose tenant(s) violated either of these duties, contact me today to discuss the most effective ways to remedy your issue. I also assist in recovery of back rent or damages owed.
Concurrently, a landlord owes three general duties to a tenant – quiet enjoyment of the rented premises, habitability of the rented premises, and maintaining common areas. If you are a tenant whose landlord violated these duties, contact me today to find out how to assert your rights and defend against eviction.
Sports Law
Sports law, while not a specific substantive law area, involves many aspects of traditional substantive law. Are you criminally or civilly liable for overly aggressive play in a recreational hockey league (Tort Law)? Can a professional sports team freely switch geographic markets (Contract Law)? Can a public high school prohibit athletic participation due to low grades (Constitutional Law)? If you have sports-related legal questions, contact me to put my passion for sports and law to work for you!
