What we do

Practice areas.

Eight focused practices — each handled with the same personalized strategy.

01 · Juvenile Defense

Juvenile Defense — protecting young futures.

A juvenile charge can follow a young person for decades. We represent minors in delinquency proceedings, transfer hearings, and post-adjudication matters — with the same seriousness we bring to any adult criminal case.

Matters we handle
  • Delinquency proceedings
  • Transfer / waiver hearings
  • Status offenses
  • Detention & release advocacy
  • Post-adjudication review
  • Records sealing & expungement
02 · Social Security

Social Security — benefits you’ve earned.

Social Security Disability and SSI claims are denied at the initial level the majority of the time. Partner Vania L. Hosea handles claims and appeals through every stage — reconsideration, ALJ hearing, Appeals Council, and federal court if needed.

Matters we handle
  • Initial disability claims (SSDI & SSI)
  • Reconsideration appeals
  • Administrative Law Judge hearings
  • Appeals Council review
  • Federal court appeals
  • Continuing disability reviews
03 · Estate Planning

Estate Planning — protect what you’ve built.

A clear plan now spares your family confusion, delay, and unnecessary expense later. We draft and update wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives — and walk you through probate when the time comes.

  • Revocable & irrevocable trusts
  • Durable power of attorney
  • Healthcare directives & living wills
  • Probate administration
  • Estate litigation
04 · Adoption Law

Matters we handle
  • Stepparent adoption
  • Relative adoption
  • Agency / private adoption
  • Contested adoption proceedings
  • Termination of parental rights
  • Adult adoption
05 · Employment Discrimination

Employment Discrimination — equal protection at work.

If you have been treated differently because of race, sex, age, disability, religion, national origin, or because you reported wrongdoing — you have rights under federal and Alabama law. Partner LaKesha B. Shahid handles EEOC charges and Title VII litigation.

Matters we handle
  • EEOC charge filing & response
  • Title VII race & sex discrimination
  • ADA & disability accommodation
  • Age discrimination (ADEA)
  • Retaliation & whistleblower claims
  • Wrongful termination
06 · Personal Injury

Personal Injury — full compensation.

When someone else’s negligence causes injury, you should not pay the price. We represent injured clients in motor vehicle, premises liability, and workers’ compensation matters — and we handle the insurance carriers so you can focus on healing.

Matters we handle
  • Motor vehicle accidents
  • Truck & commercial vehicle
  • Premises liability / slip & fall
  • Workers’ compensation
  • Wrongful death
  • Insurance claim disputes
07 · Domestic Relations

Domestic Relations — family law for real life.

Divorce, custody, support, and the everyday legal matters that shape a family. We handle contested and uncontested matters with the personal attention these cases require — and the courtroom experience when the case demands it.

Matters we handle
  • Divorce (contested & uncontested)
  • Child custody & visitation
  • Child support establishment & modification
  • Spousal support / alimony
  • Paternity
  • Contempt & enforcement

08 · General Civil Law

Many matters do not fit neatly into a single practice area. Contract disputes, landlord-tenant issues, small-business questions, civil litigation — we take the call, assess the situation honestly, and tell you whether we can help or refer you to someone who can.

Matters we handle
  • Contract disputes
  • Landlord / tenant matters
  • Small business questions
  • Civil litigation
  • Debt collection defense
