Real Estate Law
Although real estate lawyers are critical for complex real estate transactions and the purchase or sale of properties with issues, it is wise to have legal counsel even for relatively straightforward purchases and sales.
Whether you are buying or selling a starter home, second home, or commercial property, it is always in your best interest to be represented by an experienced Vermont real estate attorney.
Employment Law
The employer-employee relationship is sensitive and constantly evolving. With increased regulation of this relationship and the change and expansion of employer and employee rights, legal counsel is critical to a favorable outcome in any employment law-related situation.
Social Security Disability / SSI
If you are unable to work due to a disability, you may qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). Unfortunately, the process to file a disability claim is complex and denials are common.
This is particularly true for individuals who approach the application process without legal representation. Even minor errors or oversights can lead to denied or delayed benefits.
Civil Litigation
When parties become involved in a non-criminal legal dispute, they may require the help of an attorney, and even a trial, to resolve the issue. This is known as civil litigation.
Many different types of disputes can involve the need for civil litigation, and the parties may include strangers, business partners, neighbors, or even family members.
