Our Areas of Focus
At EsteemLaw our practice focuses on both trial and transactional law. We have a wealth of experience offering personalized assistance to consumers, policyholders and small business owners in select areas of law. Even when we cannot handle your case, we can refer you to someone who might be able help you in your specific claim. Our areas of expertise include:
ACCIDENTS & INJURY
A serious injury or devastating loss can occur in a variety of ways, but almost all have the same results in common. Your life may be disrupted and you may be jeopardized physically, emotionally, and financially. As a victim, you need to be fairly compensated for your injury as soon as possible. Our job is to do everything we can to help you get the maximum amount possible in your matter by negotiating with your insurer, adjusting settlements, or fighting for you in court.
BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS
We assist individuals and businesses with a wide variety of business transactions, whether their business is in the initial startup phase, growing in size, or preparing to dissolve. We understand that drafting a contract with precise language is essential to ensuring that all parties to a transaction get the benefits of their bargain and that those interests are protected under the law.
CIVIL LITIGATION
We maintain a general civil litigation practice to meet the needs of our individual and corporate clients. Civil Litigation law refers to the rules and practices involved in resolving disputes in the court system. We are always disposedto resolve issues outside the court, but when a dispute cannot be put to rest through our initial, then we do not hesitate to file a formal lawsuit especially if it’s our client’s desire.
INSURANCE DISPUTES
When policyholders submit claims to their insurance company, they expect the company will act in good faith and honor the validity of the claim. However, that’s not always the case. Insurance companies generate a greater profit when policyholders do not file claims or fail to collect on those submitted under their policies.
MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
Medical malpractice occurs when a patient is harmed by a doctor (or other medical professional) who fails to competently perform his or her medical duties. When a patient is injured due to the negligence of a medical professional, they may be able to file a lawsuit and recover damages attributable to the medical professionals conduct.
PRODUCT LIABILITY
When someone is injured by a defective product, they may have grounds to file a lawsuit against the manufacturer, wholesaler, or distributor if the product is unreasonably dangerous or sold in such a condition to make them defective. This may still be the case, not withstanding that the seller or manufacturer took steps to make it safe.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Information Technology laws provide the legal framework for collecting, storing, and disseminating electronic information in the global marketplace. These laws are triggered whenever you conduct any type of activity online, electronic mail (e-mail) communications, or even by owning a website. This is because your transaction data is primarily stored in digital format, and those sensitive information are often times susceptible to manipulations.
CLASS ACTION
A class action is a procedural device that permits one or more plaintiffs to file and prosecute a lawsuit on behalf of a larger group, or class. A class is any group of people who are claiming similar injuries or damages from the same company or organization. So a class action is simply a device that allows the courts to manage lawsuits that would otherwise be unmanageable.
