Services

Contract disputes

When parties disagree about an agreement, a breach, or unmet obligations, Miranda can review the contract and evidence and discuss pursuing or defending a civil claim.

Property and real estate disputes

Disputes over ownership, boundaries, possession, or property rights can lead to civil lawsuits. Miranda can review the records and represent clients in pursuing or defending those disputes.

Business disputes

Disputes between business owners, companies, or other parties may involve agreements, transactions, or legal obligations. Miranda can assess the evidence and represent clients in related civil claims and lawsuits.

Negligence claims

A negligence claim may arise when a failure to use reasonable care causes harm. Miranda can review the facts, available evidence, and losses to evaluate possible civil claims.

Personal injury

An injury can raise questions about responsibility, medical expenses, other losses, and available insurance. Miranda can evaluate the circumstances and discuss representation in a civil claim.

Wrongful death

When a death may have resulted from another party’s conduct, a family may face difficult legal and practical questions. Miranda can discuss the circumstances and potential next steps.

Medical malpractice

Concerns about medical care can involve complex facts and records. Miranda can discuss what information is needed to evaluate a potential medical malpractice claim.

Other civil disputes and lawsuits

Civil litigation extends beyond injury claims. Miranda can discuss other disputes and lawsuits, including the evidence, deadlines, and legal issues that may determine whether representation is appropriate.

Contingency-fee matters

Some civil claims may be handled without an upfront attorney fee. Depending on the type of claim and the circumstances, Miranda may offer representation under a contingency-fee arrangement. In general, attorney fees under this arrangement are paid from a recovery rather than billed by the hour; not every claim qualifies. If Miranda determines during a paid initial consultation that she will offer contingency-fee representation, the $100 initial consultation fee will be refunded. This does not mean that all case costs are waived.

A practical next step

Each civil dispute depends on its facts, evidence, deadlines, and the parties involved. An initial consultation can help clarify the issues, available approaches, and whether the matter is a fit for representation.
