Personal injury and criminal defense
The firm describes its personal-injury practice as representation for people seriously injured because of another party’s negligence.

Preserve source and date information where shown with related correspondence.

Bring together your timeline, existing-document list and questions. If a particular Sylvania record or office exchange prompted a concern, retain its source label and related correspondence with it.
