The law is complicated. Whether it be filing a lawsuit against a former employee or defending a license from being revoked, the rules and process can get muddied and confusing pretty quickly. As a result, an individual oftentimes becomes completely reliant on hiring an attorney to help him or her figure it all out.
And sometimes attorneys need representation, or help in unfamiliar subject matter, as well.

- Basic resources
- Explanatory flow charts of the administrative and litigation process
- Online tools and calculators

Our hope is that clients will be provided answers to common questions, and that potential clients will gain some insight concerning the process they are facing that will assist them in the hiring decision or in their own representation.
Please check back often, as additional tools, glossary entries, and answers to questions are added on a regular basis.
