Administrative

Administrative

Administrative law is the body of law created by the agencies and departments of the government, which carry out the laws passed by Congress or a state legislature. When Congress passes a law on a complicated issue, Congress often needs help determining all of the details of how the law will be enforced and implemented. Administrative agencies and government departments fill in those gaps for Congress and pass additional rules and regulations to achieve Congress’s goals. READ MORE

Personal Injury & Products Liability

Personal Injury & Products Liability

If you have been seriously injured due to the negligence of another person or institution, you deserve full compensation for the resulting medical bills, lost wages, pain, suffering, and other expenses. Personal injury claims must be brought within a specific period of time after the accident, after which they become ‘statute barred’ and will not succeed. The length of this strict time limit varies from state to state. It is very important that you see an attorney soon after your accident or injury. READ MORE
