The Law & You
Life often drifts along until something untoward happens. It usually results in a dispute, which can be very costly.
LEARN MORE
Some disputes can be avoided, for example selling your house or other real estate. Before signing any contract or agreement (including an agency agreement) speak to your lawyer, to determine, what exactly you are selling and if you have the power to sell, you may have forgotten that you have an agreement giving someone a first option or there may be other interests. Sort these out first and avoid the costs.
A traffic offence can cause hardship, remember the law has remedies that can often be invoked to remedy this.
Always see a lawyer early, not when the dispute arises or the hearing is about to take place.
Employment Law
Unlawful or illegal termination of employment, or unfair dismissal.
Workplace Safety.
Bullying at work.
Non-payment of wages or benefits.
Don't wait, time is important - see a lawyer immediately.
Compensation
Many look at compensation referring to personal injuries only. In fact, compensation refers to all pecuniary losses however they occur. Often these can arise from a contractual issue or from someone's negligent or deliberate act.
Insurance Law & Claims
There are many occasions when a dispute arises in respect to a claim or the level of coverage or whether the "broker" is, in fact, a "broker" or the agent of an insurance company.
The expense of litigation can be extremely costly particularly if the action is not brought properly and so the loss already suffered is made worse by then incurring the insurance company's legal costs.
Criminal Law
This area of law refers to all actions by Government agencies (including the Police), not just major crimes such as Murder, Theft, Arson etc., but also, traffic offences and common assault and similar offences.
If you are charged by receiving a notice in the mail, don't think that if you ignore it, it will somehow go away. IT WON'T.
