Tenants’ Rights
Between work, family, and other daily obligations, it’s easy to compromise on the “little things”. Your landlord isn’t responding to maintenance requests promptly, your rent has increased unreasonably or unexpectedly, you didn’t get all of your security deposit back… issues like these are important, but it can be stressful and exhausting to pursue remediation, especially while balancing life’s other priorities. If any of this sounds familiar, or if you have any other questions about your rights as a tenant, I’m here to help!
General Civil Litigation
Sometimes litigation is inevitable. I handle a broad range of civil cases, including as well as personal injury matters. Whether you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence or are involved in a complex legal disagreement, I work closely with clients to develop practical strategies that aim for fair, efficient, and effective results.
Civil Rights
Everyone has fundamental rights protected by the Constitution — freedom of speech, the right to due process, protection from unlawful searches, fair treatment in the justice system, and freedom from excessive force or punishment. When those rights are violated by government action or misconduct, I help clients stand up and seek justice. Whether your case involves police misconduct, unlawful arrest, retaliation for speaking out, or denial of fair treatment, I provide clear guidance and determined advocacy to protect your rights and hold those in power accountable.
Intellectual Property
If you’ve come up with a new idea or product, a patent can help protect it and give you the credit you deserve. I work with individual inventors and small businesses to make the patent process clear and approachable — from reviewing your invention to preparing and filing your patent application. My goal is to help you turn your idea into protected property, so you can move forward with confidence knowing your creativity is secure.
Arbitration
Arbitration is often a cost effective and more flexible alternative to litigation. I help clients navigate the arbitration process from start to finish — whether you’re seeking a fair resolution to a business, employment, or contract dispute, or simply want a more efficient way to move forward.
