We are prepared to meet with you to discuss the details of your case in the following areas:
Personal Injury
Personal Injury lawsuits arise when people are injured by the careless or intentional acts of others. When someone is determined to be legally responsible for injuring someone else, they are liable for the injury and may be made to compensate the victim.
Car & Truck Accidents
Every time a driver gets behind the wheel of a motor vehicle, he or she is accepting responsibility for the safety of everyone else on the road. Accidents can and do happen. But if a driver’s negligent behavior or careless actions lead to the personal injury or death of another party, that driver must be held accountable.
Wrongful Death
Wrongful Death as a legal term is a death that has been caused by the fault of another person. For example, deaths caused by drunk driving, the manufacture of a defective or dangerous product, the construction of an unsound structure or building, or failing to diagnose a fatal disease may be considered under the law as “wrongful deaths.”
Our Goal is Simple:

Real Estate Property Disputes
Real property includes land, both residential and commercial, and improvements to land such as roads and buildings. Real property disputes are particularly complex when they involve more than two parties, as is often the case.
Examples of real property disputes include disputes between:
- The buyer and seller of residential or commercial property over a failed deal
- Homeowner associations and their members over administration of the association
- A broker and his client over whether he rendered services adequately and performed all of his duties as an agent
- Development companies and clients over contracts for the construction of a building
- Adjoining property owners over boundary lines, easements, or property use
- Commercial property owners and local government agencies over zoning and land use issues
- Those who share ownership in real property over whether to partition (split up) or retain the property
- Real property owners and government authorities who wish to initiate eminent domain or condemnation proceedings
- Real property owners and title holders such as mortgage companies over debts owed
- Contractors and subcontractors over the manner and timing of the building process
Real property lawsuits may seek financial compensation for damages arising out of unlawful behavior, or they may seek injunctive relief. Injunctive relief permits the court to order the defendant to do something other than pay money, such as signing over property, repairing a defective condition, or refraining from interfering with another property owner’s rights.
Declaratory relief is also available in some real estate disputes, where the court can render a decision regarding the rights, duties, or obligations of the parties without ordering them to perform an act or pay damages.
Evictions
However reasonable you may be in working with tenants, and however well you maintain your rental properties, problems can arise that threaten to cost you serious money and time. Landlords dealing with nonpayment of rent and problem tenants can benefit greatly from experienced legal counsel.

Criminal Law
When accused of a crime, it is important to obtain an attorney who will handle your case with care. Many firms, unfortunately, are “plea factories” and, as such, do not provide criminal defendants with a level of representation required and deserved. But, not Evans and Adamsky Law Firm. Our attorneys have gained notoriety for being meticulously detailed. It is for this reason many of our clients’ cases are dismissed by the State, itself.
