Independence, Missouri, Attorney
Whether you have been accused of a crime, need legal help establishing your citizenship status, are experiencing problems with a tenant in a rental property, or have had your Social Security application denied, you need a knowledgeable attorney with answers. I work in a wide range of legal areas, and provide legal solutions to many legal challenges.
Criminal Law, DWI and Traffic Violations : Have you been accused of a crime? I have worked to defend hundreds of accused people as an attorney at the public defender's office and in private practice. Contact me for experienced, creative, and aggressive criminal defense. My experience includes defense for DWI, DUI, speeding, burglary, forgery, stalking, drug possession and distribution, leaving the scene, and bad checks charges.
Landlord/Tenant Law: Many legal problems can arise in property rental situations, including nonpayment of rent, property damage, damage deposit disputes, and drug violations and other criminal activity. I can provide the solutions you need by facilitating emergency evictions, debt recovery, and property repossession. I can help return your property to you, retrieve the assets you are owed, and recover payment for damages.
Intellectual Property: Have you created or inherited intellectual property that you need to protect? I am a registered attorney with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and I can help ensure your intellectual property is safely protected with appropriate trademarks, copyrights and registration.
Divorce and Family Law: I represent individuals in divorce, child custody, child support, visitation, stalking, grandparent rights, stepparent rights, alimony, annulments, dead dissolutions, and many other family law legal matters.
Social Security Law: I have considerable experience in this specialized area of law, and can assist clients across a broad spectrum of subject matter. For example, I routinely assist clients with their original applications for Social Security benefits. Additionally, I have experience helping clients with denied Social Security claims. I know what the Social Security Agency looks for in the appeals process. If your claim has been denied, I can educate your physicians and can manage your appeals process paperwork.
Debt Collection: If you need debt collection legal services, you are owed money you already expected to receive. I can efficiently investigate your claim, file your claim in court, and pursue judgment for payment to achieve resolution as soon as possible. If a party claims you owe money that you do not believe you should pay, I can represent you to demonstrate you are not liable for payment.
Wills and Powers of Attorney: "Now" is always the best time to plan for major life changes and transitions. I can prepare your transition documents, including wills, pour-over and living wills, medical powers of attorney for health care and medical directives, transfer documents and guidelines, and durable general powers of attorney.
