Mississippi Personal Injury Attorneys Say Slip and Fall Accidents Can Be Dangerous and Even Deadly

It’s winter again, and the risk for slip and fall accidents is higher than it is at other times of the year. Slip and fall accidents are dangerous. They can lead to severe injury and even death. Last February, a college student died after slipping on ice on the campus at the University of Washington in Seattle. The young woman suffered a head injury from the fall and passed away at the hospital.

Winter weather in Mississippi is as unpredictable as it is elsewhere in America. There are dry days, wet days, cold days, warmer days, and all kinds of storms and patterns that make it hard for people to know what to expect when they go outdoors. The highly variable nature of winter weather can make it hard for building owners to keep track of the condition of sidewalks, parking lots, and even the flooring inside of their establishments. Try as they may, they might be unable to remedy every safety hazard promptly. This makes the winter season a time where people are more likely than usual to be injured in a slip and fall accident.

Slip and fall accidents can cause anything from minor scrapes and bruises to serious, painful injuries that require lengthy recovery time, physical therapy, and sometimes even surgery. Every part of your body can be hurt during a slip and fall accident, and some slip and fall accident victims also end up suffering from a concussion in addition to other injuries. Cold weather can make muscles tight, and more likely to be pulled or strained during an unpredictable or unanticipated movement like a slip and fall.

Fortunately, some slip and fall accidents are preventable. There are several things you can do to help yourself and others in your family to avoid slip and fall accidents. First, select appropriate footwear for the weather. While winter boots don’t look amazing with every outfit, neither do casts, bandages, and neck braces. Put on properly-fitting winter footwear before you go out the door. If you’re heading to work or your kids are heading out to school, make sure that you and they take along indoor shoes to wear while they’re inside. Stashing winter boots near the door or in another designated storage area at work or school can help keep water, snow, and ice off the floors and reduce the chance of a slip and fall. When you are walking outdoors, take it slow and maintain an awareness of what you’re walking on. That means put away the cell phone – people can and do slip and fall when they’re texting or talking as they walk.

If you do have a slip and fall accident, seek medical attention right away. After you have received any necessary medical care and you are moving forward to recovering from your slip and fall, you may wonder whether you can pursue financial recovery for your injuries. The Mississippi Personal Injury Attorneys at Barrett Law can help you determine whether you have a viable claim related to a slip and fall accident. To learn, please call our office today at 1 (800) 707-9577 to schedule a free initial consultation.

Mississippi Workplace Accident Attorneys Reveal the Six Most Dangerous Jobs In America

In a previous article, we began our review of the ten most dangerous jobs in America, based on 2018 statistics from the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics. We resume our exploration of that list, along with the reasons those jobs are so dangerous, with the sixth most dangerous job in America.

Sales workers and truck drivers have the sixth most dangerous job in America. The primary cause of work-related injuries and death for these workers is transportation, which makes sense considering the many hours they log behind the wheel. Sales workers travel routes throughout their workday, and truckers make pickups and deliveries on local and long-distance routes.

People who work as trash collectors and those who pick up your recyclables hold the fifth most dangerous job in America. Transportation accidents cause the most injuries and fatalities for these workers, who spend their days driving and riding on trucks in all kinds of weather.

The fourth most dangerous job in America belongs to the roofers. Trips, slips, and falls are the most common cause of injury and death among these workers. That is not surprising, because roofing work often happens at heights where a slip or a fall could be deadly. Those of us who do not do roofing work may not realize how physically demanding roofing work is. The job involves a great deal of heavy lifting and climbing, and work takes place in all kinds of weather, including the heat of summer and the chill of winter.

Aircraft engineers and pilots have the third most dangerous job in America. This may be surprising, considering that the number of large, commercial aviation airplane crashes is relatively low. However, the majority of workplace injuries and fatalities in the aviation industry involve aircraft in the private sector.

Fishing is dangerous work, earning it the number two spot on the list of America’s ten most dangerous jobs. The primary cause of workplace injury and death among fishing industry workers is transportation. Transportation in the fishing industry includes time spent on fishing vessels, where fishers spend long hours doing physically demanding work that includes hauling in nets and traps.

The most dangerous job of all belongs to loggers. The logging accidents that claim the most lives and cause the most injuries involve falling objects, which are often the trees that they are attempting to fell. Accidents involving logging equipment, including feller-bunchers, chainsaws, and skidders, are also a top cause of injury and death among loggers.

Whether or not you hold one of the ten most dangerous jobs in America, a workplace accident can keep you off of the job and out of a paycheck for quite some time. If you suffered any type of injury on the job, or you lost a family member in a work-related death, you do not have to navigate the daunting process of filing a workplace injury or death claim alone.

Mississippi Automobile Accident Attorneys Report Increase in Automobile Accident Injuries and Deaths During Holiday Travel

November 27, 2019 to December 1, 2019 was a dangerous time to be on the road in Mississippi. The Mississippi Highway Patrol reports a total of ten fatalities and forty-nine injuries during that time. In those same few days, the Mississippi Highway Patrol also issued nearly seven thousand traffic citations and arrested ninety-five people suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol.

The ten fatalities and forty-nine injuries that occurred on Mississippi roads during the Thanksgiving holiday period are the results of one hundred and eighty-five motor vehicle wrecks that happened during the five days mentioned earlier in this article. While some of the wrecks occurred during the late-night and early morning hours, many of the accidents the Mississippi Highway Patrol investigated happened during the late afternoon and early evening hours.

Many different kinds of accident scenarios occurred during the Thanksgiving travel period, and all sorts of vehicles, from passenger cars, pickup trucks, and SUVs to tractor-trailers, were involved in crashes during that time. The ages of the drivers involved in the wrecks vary widely. The Mississippi Highway Patrol is investigating all of the accidents, and they have reported on some of them.

At least four of the fatal accidents were single-vehicle wrecks where the vehicle left the roadway. In one of those crashes, the driver of the vehicle was ejected and died at the accident scene. In three of the four fatal, single-vehicle accidents detailed in one report from the Mississippi Highway Patrol, the vehicle collided with a tree after leaving the roadway. In the fourth crash, the car left the road and flipped several times before coming to a stop.

At least two of the fatal wrecks that happened during the holiday travel period were head-on collisions. In both situations, one vehicle was traveling northbound while another was traveling southbound. In both cases, one vehicle left its lane and entered into the path of the other vehicle, hitting it head-on.

One of the fatal holiday season accidents involved a motorcycle. The person riding the motorcycle was ejected from it when a vehicle struck the motorcycle from behind. Another crash involved two vehicles that were traveling the same direction but in different lanes. The vehicles made contact with each other, and the impact sent one of the vehicles off of the road. Pedestrian accidents can happen any time of year, including the holidays. A man was hit and killed by a pickup truck while he was walking alongside the interstate.

Motor vehicle accidents can take many different forms, and all kinds of accidents are more likely to happen when the roads are crowded. Roads in Mississippi and elsewhere are more dangerous during peak travel time, such as holidays. The statistics regarding holiday travel accidents are concerning, but many wrecks can be avoided by preparedness and caution. Holiday travel can be an excellent way to connect with the people you love, so take extra care to ensure that you arrive at your destination safely. Be sure to plan extra time into your trip for rest breaks and traffic. Stay alert and maintain a constant awareness of what is going around you, because traffic can be unpredictable. If you were hurt in a Mississippi automobile accident during the holidays or at any other time of the year, call the Mississippi Automobile Accident attorneys at Barrett Law PLLC, at 1 (800) 707-9577.

Mississippi Workplace Accident Attorney Asks – Do You Work At One of America’s Ten Most Dangerous Jobs?

The end of the year comes with many lists, especially lists of the ten best or ten worst of just about anything. One of those lists is a compilation of the ten most dangerous jobs in America. The list is based on workplace accident, injury, and fatality numbers from 2018, and by now, you may be wondering whether your job is on it.

According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, over five thousand American lives were lost on the job during 2018. The number of lives lost at work is slightly higher than it was in 2017. Interestingly enough, a full forty percent of those fatalities involved transportation. Contact with objects and equipment is an increasingly common cause of workplace fatalities, causing thirteen percent more deaths than it had the previous year.

The tenth most dangerous job in America is supervising landscaping and groundskeeping work. Supervisors for these services often visit multiple job sites every day as they manage the teams that provide the landscaping and groundskeeping services, increasing the risk that they will be hurt or killed in a work-related transportation accident. Transportation accidents are the leading cause of work-related fatalities among groundskeeping and landscaping supervisors.

The ninth most dangerous job in America is also a supervisor’s job – supervising construction and extraction work crews. Again, transportation-related fatalities top the list of workplace deaths for this job, which involves a great deal of travel between job sites each day. Another significant contributor to workplace fatalities for supervisors of extraction and construction work is falls, slips, and trips.

Structural iron and steel workers have the eighth most dangerous job in America. Slips, trips, and falls were the most common cause of workplace injuries and deaths for structural steel and ironworkers, who often work at substantial heights installing structural components during building construction.

Farmers, ranchers, and others who work in agriculture have the seventh most dangerous job in America. Transportation accidents top the list of causes of injury and death for agricultural workers.  It is unclear whether those figures include travel between farms, using tractors, combines, and other farming equipment, or both. Most of the training that agricultural workers receive is on-the-job, so agricultural workers who are teaching newer workers how to do their jobs must emphasize safety during that training.

American workers provide valuable services to our communities and our nation. Without American farmers and fishers, our food supply would not be as diverse and accessible as it is, and we would be more dependent on other nations for food. Without American loggers, we would not be able to harvest our forests for the diverse assortment of wood products that many of us use every day. Every job on the list of America’s ten most dangerous occupations is vital to the success of our nation’s society and economy. When workplace safety is not the priority that it should be, American workers face on-the-job dangers that could hurt or kill them. If you were injured on the job, call the Mississippi Workplace Accident Attorneys at Barrett Law PLLC today, at 1 (800) 707-9577.

Mississippi Trucking Accident Attorney Discusses Winter Truck Accidents

January is on its way, and with it comes the possibility of snow, ice, slippery roads, and truck accidents. Winter driving in Mississippi is challenging, and icy road conditions increase your risk of being involved in a wreck with a truck. Last January, a snowstorm created slick road conditions on I-55 in Tate County. During the storm, a tractor-trailer jack-knifed, requiring the Mississippi Highway Patrol to shut the northbound side of the road down for half an hour to clear the crash scene. Fortunately, the driver of the tractor-trailer was not hurt in the wreck. Travelers had been encountering difficulty in navigating the slippery roads throughout the state even before the accident, with icy travel conditions reported throughout the region.

In addition to the ice, snow, and water on the road this winter, look out for other drivers, as their behavior could cause an accident. This is especially critical if you’re traveling in heavy traffic, where there are vehicles all around you. Even those vehicles that are driven by professionals, such as tractor-trailers, can slip and slide on icy, snowy, or wet roads, creating a danger that they will be involved in a crash and possibly ensnare other vehicles in the wreckage.

Each type of vehicle has a unique set of vulnerabilities in the winter. For example, the large size of tractor-trailers can cause them to have limited visibility, especially in their blind spots. All vehicles can encounter difficulties with traction and braking when roads are wet, icy, or snowy. Another factor that affects winter accident risk is driver experience. Not all drivers have the same amount of experience with winter driving conditions, and experience can bring with it the much-needed skills that help drivers avoid accidents on slippery roads.

The following tips can help you navigate winter driving conditions more successfully, reducing the risk that you will get into an accident with a truck or some other vehicle. The best way to cut down your accident risk is to slow down when roads are wet and snowy. Reducing your speed can help you avoid sudden braking, which can lead to slipping and sliding on wet or icy roads. Check the forecast, so you can anticipate what the road conditions are likely to be when you head out, and when you plan to return. As difficult as it can be to make changes to our plans when you discover a forecast that will make travel dangerous, it is better to postpone or cancel a trip somewhere than to drive when there is a heightened risk of an accident. Use your seatbelt every time you drive and ask others traveling with you to do the same. If there’s any snow or ice on your vehicle, clear it off before you drive.

Truck accidents can happen at any time during the winter, just as at any other time of year. If you’re involved in a truck wreck this winter, call for help immediately. After you have received any necessary medical care, contact a Mississippi Automobile Accident Attorney. You might be able to pursue a claim for damages in connection with your crash. Learn more about your options following a Mississippi road rage truck crash by calling the knowledgeable Mississippi Trucking Accident Attorney at Barrett Law PLLC, at 1 (800) 707-9577 today.

Mississippi Whistleblower Attorney Says Whistleblowers Can Help Clean Up Sports

The world of professional athletics is not devoid of corruption. If you consider how much wrongdoing occurs in the various sports leagues and organizations around the world, you can only come to one conclusion – whistleblowers play an integral role in keeping athletic contests of all kinds clean and fair.

A family from Russia had to flee their home and seek refuge in America after they blew the whistle on athletic doping in their homeland. Despite the threats and hardships the family has endured and will likely continue to suffer, they are pleased to learn that an international anti-doping panel has prohibited Russia from competing for four years. This sanction excludes Russia from participating in the upcoming Tokyo Olympics, among other things. Vitaly Stepanov says that after numerous threats of punishment and halfhearted attempts at sanctioning the country, an organization has finally moved forward and issued an actual consequence for Russia.

The Stepanovs have been labeled traitors by those in Russia. The family has applied for asylum in the United States and hopes to be able to remain here. Yulia and Vitaly Stepanov do not regret telling the truth about what they saw in Russia. Yulia is an athlete, a distance runner, and Vitaly worked for the Russian Anti-Doping Agency. Together they exposed a state-run doping system in Russia, which the World Anti-Doping Agency has investigated and confirmed. The Stepanovs understood the risks involved in taking a stand against doping, but they chose to move forward despite the harsh criticism that they knew would come along with doing so.

When whistleblowers come forward to expose wrongdoing in athletics like Yulia, and Vitaly Stepanov have done, they score victories for clean athletes everywhere as well as for the integrity of international sporting events like the Olympic Games and other athletic contests and organizations. Numerous problems exist within athletic leagues and organizations, including doping, match-fixing, sexual harassment, and corruption. Sports touch people’s lives in many ways, whether they are athletes, parents of athletes, fans, sponsors, or workers within athletic organizations. Holding athletes and athletic organizations accountable for participating in and promoting clean, safe, fair competition is critical to the good of the sporting world and the good of society.

Many people work within sports organizations, and some of them have access to things the general public is unable to see. Whether it’s the impact of gambling, tax evasion, and questionable accounting practices, or criminal activity that is being ignored or covered up by an athletic organization, your voices are needed to bring those things out into the open so they can be addressed. Sexual harassment and abuse are huge problems in athletics, which is compounded by power imbalances between athletes and the coaches who train them as well as a focus on the bodies of the athletes. Unless whistleblowers expose the inappropriate things that are happening inside of sports, the risk of harm to athletes will persist.

If you have a potential athletic whistleblower claim, a Mississippi whistleblower protection attorney may be able to assist you in pursuing that claim. To learn more, call the Mississippi Whistleblower Attorney at Barrett Law PLLC today at 1 (800) 707-9577. to set up an initial consultation.

Mississippi Whistleblower Attorney Say Whistleblowers Could Help Solve the Climate Crisis

The climate of planet earth is in grave danger. Despite the voices of those who choose to ignore the mounting evidence of this crisis, more people are aware of it now than ever before. Along with this increased awareness has come expanded agreement that action is needed now to address what is now a climate emergency. This past November, eleven thousand scientists from around the globe united in warning all of us that immediate and immense effort is required if we are to have any hope of preventing the widespread suffering that will occur if we fail to act.

In many ways, it appears as though we are well on our way to addressing the problem of global climate change. After all, we have made impressive gains in developing renewable energy, and we continue to pursue energy efficiency in leaps and bounds. Despite all the movement in the right direction, fossil fuel emissions around the world continued to increase for the third consecutive year. While we must continue to develop wind, solar, and other proven renewable energy resources, we must also be vigilant in stopping activities that lead to increased carbon emissions. Some of the activities that must be addressed are, in fact, illegal, and corruption and crime have been exposed within the timber industry as well as the petroleum production industry.

Whistleblowers and would-be whistleblowers who work in the timber, oil, gas, and other energy industries are in a position to expose crime and corruption from within their industries. When crime and corruption are exposed, they can be stopped. For example, fossil fuel companies have long known the climate-change risks associated with their products. Recent testimony given before Congress revealed a campaign by the petroleum industry to create confusion and disseminate disinformation about the climate change risks associated with their products. The campaign is eerily similar to the tactics used by the tobacco industry to confuse and misinform the public about the health risks associated with their products.

There is also the possibility of pursuing claims of actionable fraud against petroleum companies. There are at least a few companies who claim they are moving forward in a way that will comply with the Paris Agreement while at the same time funding infrastructure projects that will not help them accomplish that. As petroleum companies are slow to work toward the change they claim they are making, the climate is also being assaulted by carbon emissions from illegal logging operations in countries where corrupt governments and weak environmental laws are failing to stop them. Actionable fraud and other types of whistleblower cases that could be brought against petroleum and timber companies could be effective in preventing activities that contribute to climate change if they result in meaningful sanctions against the responsible parties.

Whistleblower protection attorneys are potent allies in the face of painful retaliation. If you have experienced retaliation as the result of reporting safety, health, financial, or other concerns, call the Mississippi Whistleblower Attorney of Barrett Law PLLC today at 1 (800) 707-9577 for an initial consultation.

Mississippi Automobile Accident Attorneys Want You to Know What to Do if You Have an Accident

Automobile accidents are not part of anyone’s plan for their day. Unfortunately, motor vehicle wrecks happen all across Mississippi and all over America every day, at all hours of the day and night. If you have an accident, take the following steps to ensure that you care for the needs of yourself and others and comply with the law.

The first thing you must do if you are involved in a motor vehicle wreck is to stop your vehicle. It is a crime to fail to stop at an accident scene, so do not even think about continuing on your way. Next, check yourself for injuries. Call 911 if you can, or if you are unable, ask someone to make the call for you. If you are unable to move or if it hurts to move, wait for emergency personnel to arrive. If you’re injured and you are not too hurt to move about, proceed with as many next steps as you can before first responders arrive. When they arrive, be sure to get your injuries evaluated before doing anything else, in case you need to go to the hospital.

If you can move, check on others in your vehicle and the other vehicle or vehicles involved in the wreck. Describe any injuries that you see to the emergency personnel on the phone, because information about what is happening at the accident scene is helpful to dispatchers.

Next, If your vehicle came to rest in the road, move it to the side if it is safe to do so to avoid creating a situation where oncoming traffic collides with it. Also, if people can get out of their vehicles, gather everyone at a safe place.

If you notice that no one has called 911 because no one is hurt, make the call to let police know about the crash. Police reports and accident investigations are essential documents that can help you pursue claims for injuries and damages after a motor vehicle wreck. More importantly, calling the police after a crash is a requirement of the law in many places.

After you have called for help, wait for help to arrive. While you wait, exchange information with the other drivers and share insurance information with them. You’ll want to exchange names and telephone numbers, insurance contact and policy information, and vehicle information such as the year, color, make, and model of each car involved in the crash. Don’t forget to note where the accident happened. Be sure not to make any statements claiming responsibility for the crash, even if you know it was your fault. Likewise, do not blame the other drivers or get into a shouting match with them.

If you have a camera on your phone, take pictures of the accident. These pictures can be valuable during the insurance claims process. Also, write down the name and badge number of all officers who respond to the accident and ask them where you can go to obtain a copy of the accident report.

If you were hurt or if someone in your family was killed in a motor vehicle wreck, we’re here to help. Call the Mississippi Automobile Accident Attorneys of Barrett Law PLLC at 1 (800) 707-9577 to arrange an initial consultation.

Mississippi Whistleblower Attorneys Say Trump Whistleblower’s Attorney Has Asked Senator Marsha Blackburn to Resign From Senate Whistleblower Protection Caucus

Whistleblowers are in such a precarious position that they need all of the help they can get. Fortunately, whistleblower protection attorneys are willing to go to bat for their clients day after day, even when other groups that are supposed to be joining them in their efforts to protect whistleblowers fail to do so. The Trump whistleblower situation has already revealed a lack of federal protection for whistleblower anonymity.  It is too early to predict what consequences Donald Trump and others who have tweeted or blurted the whistleblower’s name or referenced articles revealing his identity will face.

In addition to the lack of federal protection of their anonymity, whistleblowers face yet another type of insult. The insult comes in the form of a sharp-tongued senator who has tweeted several hostile remarks about the Trump whistleblower as she continues to be a member of a Senate caucus whose name implies that it exists to protect whistleblowers. The attorney for the Trump whistleblower, along with other whistleblower protection attorneys are calling for Senator Marsha Blackburn’s resignation from the caucus, and for a good reason.

Senator Blackburn’s comments fit right in with tweets and statements that have been made by President Trump and his allies in what appears to be a unified effort to intimidate witnesses in the presidential impeachment probe. It is no secret that Blackburn has long been a supporter of Trump, and her comments echo sentiments that have been expressed by Trump and others who support him.

Attorney David Colapinto, a co-founder of the National Whistleblower Center, along with the Trump whistleblower attorney and other whistleblower protection attorneys question how someone with views that are so contrary to whistleblower protection can be a member of the Senate Whistleblower Protection Caucus. The caucus was created in 2015, by a bipartisan group of senators who wanted to discuss legislative issues affecting the treatment of whistleblowers in addition to collecting and distributing information regarding whistleblower issues.

Attacks on Twitter and elsewhere and mentions of the whistleblower’s name increase safety risks to the whistleblower and their family every time they happen. The attacks continue, even though every allegation made by the whistleblower is substantiated by one or more witnesses, and even after whistleblower attorneys sent a cease-and-desist letter to the White House in November calling for an end to the attacks. Meanwhile, the whistleblower has had to surround himself or herself and their family with additional security.

It is clear that whistleblowers are not receiving adequate protection under federal laws. It is also clear that little stands in the way of attempts to discredit whistleblowers after they come forward and to dissuade would-be whistleblowers before they speak up. The Mississippi Whistleblower Protection Attorneys of Barrett Law PLLC support whistleblowers in their efforts to expose waste, corruption, and fraud. To learn more about whistleblower protection, call us at 1 (800) 707-9577 to arrange an initial consultation with the Mississippi Whistleblower Attorneys of Barrett Law PLLC.

Mississippi BP Oil Spill Attorneys Say Fragile Gulf Coast Fisheries are Vulnerable to Further Destruction

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill decimated oyster populations and other fisheries in the Gulf of Mexico. In the years since the spill, the fisheries have been slow to recover. Today, they remain vulnerable to threats from hurricanes and flooding. This year’s record flooding sent large amounts of water down the Mississippi River, through the Bonnet Carre Spillway, and into the Gulf of Mexico, where it killed off some of the most productive oyster beds. The spillway protects communities in New Orleans. The record amount of flooding this year prompted the United States Army Corps of Engineers to keep the spillway open for longer than it has ever kept it open before. During the 123 days that the spillway was open, over a trillion cubic feet of freshwater passed through the spillway and into the Mississippi Sound, which is the location of some of the Gulf’s most productive fisheries.

Oysters and other saltwater fish and shellfish cannot survive when freshwater dilutes the water where the animals live, reducing the salt content of the water below what those species need to survive. Oyster fishers are not the only ones in the industry to report losses in connection with the water that came through the spillway this year. Blue crab catches have decreased, and shrimp fishers are often unable to catch enough shrimp to cover their operating costs. It is reported that more than ninety percent of oysters in the Gulf died this year, and it’s likely that there will be no commercial oyster harvest this year in the Gulf because of that.

Fisheries are not the only part of the Gulf ecosystem to be harmed by the waters that poured through the spillway earlier this year. Many dolphins and sea turtles perished, and many Mississippi beaches were closed for most of the summer because of algae blooms. The ecosystem of the Gulf Coast had been recovering slowly after the oil spill, but hurricanes and floodwaters continue to push fragile species into a crisis state. The economic impact of the oil spill left fisheries in the Gulf badly damaged, and those fishers who were able to return to harvesting seafood in the region are now again facing the possibility that they won’t be able to make a living fishing.

Some of the projects that have been given funding from the Deepwater Horizon settlement involve Gulf fisheries. For example, plans are underway to develop an oyster hatchery and research facility at the University of Southern Mississippi as part of the state’s oyster restoration efforts. Off-bottom oyster farming also came to the Gulf this year, but the farmers lost their oysters to the floodwaters. Many of the beaches that were closed this summer because of algae blooms are the subject of projects approved as part of the oil spill settlement.

Extreme flooding on the Mississippi River has had negative impacts downstream in the Gulf of Mexico, where fisheries, beaches, and marine life have been struggling to recover from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. To learn more about BP oil spill litigation, call the Mississippi BP Oil Spill Attorneys at Barrett Law PLLC at 1 (800) 707-9577, to arrange an initial consultation.
