In divorce and child custody cases, the adversarial process can increase tension between the parties that often do not abate even when the legal process is complete. We approach each case with an aggressive, proactive style developed through experience, but we are also committed to cooperation and the search for reasonable solutions. At Scott Horenstein Law Firm, we tailor our representation to suit the needs of each client given the individual circumstances of the case. Alternative Dispute ResolutionNon-adversarial alternatives, such as arbitration, mediation, collaboration, and settlement conferences are encouraged or imposed by state courts in an attempt to save time and money and to preserve relationships whenever possible. Mediation and other Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) processes provide an option for those who prefer to stay out of court. ADR provides many potential advantages for most cases, including reduced cost, faster resolution, less emotional stress, the ability to construct solutions that are more innovative than those a court can fashion. All or our attorneys are trained arbitrators and mediators, advising clients on arbitration, dispute resolution, mediation, mini-trials, and private judging. They have extensive experience in determining when ADR is in the client's best interest and routinely advise clients on the legal consequences flowing from particular terms and conditions of all ADR options. Personal InjuryScott Horenstein Law Firm, PLLC represents individuals involved in controversies alleging a wrong or damage to another's person, rights, reputation, or property resulting from events or activities such as motor vehicle accidents, nursing home negligence, slip and fall accidents, infliction of emotional distress, intentional misconduct, negligence, and medical malpractice. We have extensive negotiation and litigation experience. Attorney Paul Henderson is a graduate of the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers' College, which we believe gives him a formidable advantage when preparing a case for settlement or for trial. Motor Vehicle Accidents-Vehicle accidents are responsible for numerous personal injuries. These accidents may involve driver negligence, drunk driving and/or reckless behavior. If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident, we can help you receive just compensation for your injuries, lost wages, and other damages. Medical Malpractice -Medical negligence or "malpractice" occurs when someone is injured, or dies, because a physician or healthcare provider either fails to do something that should have been done or does something that should not have been done. Doctors and other health-care providers must follow certain standards when caring for patients. A death or injury caused by the failure to provide reasonably appropriate or common standards of care or the failure to diagnose an easily detectable illness may be malpractice. We help injured clients determine whether malpractice has occurred as a result of negligence or misconduct in the dental, medical, podiatric, chiropractic, psychiatric, and other health professional fields. Premises Liability Accidents (Slip and Fall)-Injuries suffered on another's property, whether in a home, on a sidewalk, or in a commercial building or shop, are often the result of negligent maintenance or even complete disregard for the safety of others. If you or a family member has been injured in a fall or other accident away from your home, you may have a premises liability claim. Contact us for assistance and advice. Wrongful Death-If you have lost a loved one in an accident or as the result of a faulty or defective product or piece of equipment, we can represent your interests against the parties at fault and against their insurance companies to seek damages on your behalf. Aviation Accidents-Aviation law consists of a complicated group of laws, treaties and court decisions. Accident claims can have very different results depending upon the individuals involved, the type of flight, the location of the accident site and other factors. Aviation accidents frequently fall under the jurisdiction of state, federal, and even international law. Consequently, you need an attorney who has the experience and specialized knowledge necessary to lead the investigation into the cause of the crash and to help you collect the maximum amount allowed under the law. Attorney Paul Henderson is well versed in aviation law. As a flight instructor, he brings a depth of understanding to each aviation matter. Defective Products / Product Liability-Our firm has an excellent track record, developed over years of experience in representing individuals who have been injured as a result of unsafe products that were designed, manufactured, sold, and/or furnished by a person or company. We assist those injured individuals in bringing their claims and in being fairly compensated for their injuries.
