Small Business - The area of law that involves the creation and needs of "small business". A small business can be any activity or enterprise entered into for profit, usually a company, a corporation, partnership, or any such formal organization.

Criminal Offenses - Public law that deals with crimes and their prosecution. This area of law is usually governed by statute or ordinance.

Personal Injury -The area of law that involves civil law cases designed to obtain compensation for injury to your person. The personal injury attorney usually tries to negotiate with the opposing party or their insurance company. If necessary, and if the attorney thinks you have a good chance of winning, the case may go to trial. The main concerns in a personal injury case are negligence and liability. Before you can collect an award, your attorney will have to prove that the defendant is liable. To prove liability, the attorney must establish negligence. If there is a failure to exercise reasonable care to prevent injury or damage then there may be negligence. Once liability and negligence have been established, the judge or the jury may award money to compensate for medical costs, lost wages and lost future earnings as well as for pain and suffering.

Family Law - The area of law dealing with family relations including divorce, adoption, paternity, custody, and support.
