Tort law addresses civil wrongs that cause harm or loss to an individual. Unlike criminal law, which seeks punishment, tort law seeks compensation for victims. Common torts include negligence, defamation, medical malpractice, and premises liability.

If you've suffered harm due to someone else's negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions, you may have grounds for a tort claim. A consultation with our firm can help determine the viability of your case.

In most tort cases—particularly personal injury and malpractice—we work on a contingency fee basis. That means no upfront fees, and we only get paid if we win your case.

Bring any relevant documents—medical records, photos of injuries or the scene, communications related to the incident, and a timeline of events. The more detail, the better.

Case timelines vary. Some resolve in months, others may take a year or more, especially if litigation is required. We aim to resolve your case as efficiently and effectively as possible.
