We will help you navigate through the difficulties of your case

We understand that legal difficulties can bring a high level of anxiety, so we work to ensure you fully understand our approach from the beginning. In developing that approach, we combine the processes and strategies used by the largest firms with tried and tested courtroom experience to give you the best chance of success. It’s an ethos that has won praise from both our clients and our colleagues.

  • Our process is so successful, it is studied by other attorneys

  • We work not only to help you win your case, but to alleviate your anxiety

  • You will be working with honest, experienced, skilled and aggressive attorneys

Some of the largest firms have repeatable processes that they bring to bear on every case, but unless you are a Fortune 500 company, they probably won’t give you the time of day.  We bring those same proven processes for winning cases to bear even for our smallest clients.

Some attorneys have little to no experience in an actual courtroom.  We have been there many times, and we’ve got the battle scars to prove it. That experience is invaluable, and it can’t be taught or read about in a book — it must be earned in the trenches. We aren’t afraid to fight for you in event of a trial.

We promise to treat you with respect and care. We pride ourselves on helping our clients understand all the aspects of the case and our approach, to help alleviate their worries.  It’s the kind of personal attention you don’t often find from big firms.

In addition to the numerous awards we have received, our process is featured in the book “Rules of the Road: A Plaintiff Lawyer’s Guide to Proving Liability” (2nd edition), by Rick Friedman & Patrick Malone.

Specializing in Complex Civil Litigation

According to the National Center for State Courts, complex litigation is a type of legal case “requiring more intensive judicial management.  Complexity may be determined by multiple parties, multiple attorneys, geographically dispersed plaintiffs and defendants, numerous expert witnesses, complex subject matter, complicated testimony concerning causation, procedural complexity, complex substantive law, extensive discovery, choice of law,   requisites of a class-certification order, complex damage determinations, diversity, and res judicata implications for plaintiffs not within the proposed class.  Mass torts and class actions are examples of two types of well-known complex actions.”

Below are examples of the types of complex litigation we specialize in, as well as some of the other areas of law where we also have expertise.

ELDER CARE LITIGATION

Elder financial abuse and probate fraud often target those least able to protect themselves. Unscrupulous individuals—including family members, trusted friends, or caregivers—may manipulate or pressure seniors into transferring significant assets such as real estate, cash, or treasured family heirlooms. In other cases, a person who gains control over an estate exploits that position through self-dealing or outright theft, taking advantage of minimal oversight and the trust placed in them. Pels Law Firm aggressively litigates matters involving elder financial abuse and probate fraud. If you or a loved one has been harmed by these practices, we are prepared to take decisive legal action to protect your rights and pursue accountability.

CRIMINAL DEFENSE

Representing clients accused of crimes, including white collar, traffic and criminal court, as well as juvenile and domestic relations.
