Types of Cases We Handle

The attorneys at our law firm represent individuals in civil actions that are the result of incidents of intentional or reckless misconduct. When organizations, employers, or institutions fail to protect people from foreseeable harm, they can — and should — be held accountable.

We handle a wide range of complex civil cases, including:

  • Inadequate Security or Supervision – Cases where negligence allowed physical assaults or other acts of harm to occur.
  • Institutional Misconduct – Failures within schools, organizations, or workplaces that led to preventable harm.
  • Physical Assault and Abuse – Civil claims against responsible individuals and entities for intentional or reckless conduct.
  • Negligent Hiring or Retention – When companies fail to properly vet or monitor employees whose actions cause harm.
  • Other Intentional Acts – Including financial exploitation, intimidation, or other deliberate wrongdoing.

Our experience as former prosecutors gives us unique insight into how criminal and civil systems intersect. We know how to gather evidence, question witnesses, and build powerful cases that stand up in court.
