Our primary areas of practice at Thomas Braun Bernard & Burke, LLP include:
- Personal Injury: From accidents involving cars, motorcycles, or 18-wheelers to injuries or deaths resulting from defective products or equipment, we have decades of experience in personal injury law. Drawing upon this experience, we can help you secure fair compensation for your losses.
- Business Transactions and Litigation: From navigating your company through a complex business transaction to representing your company in a lawsuit with another business, we are here to protect your commercial interests.
- Insurance Bad Faith: We have helped many clients with all types of insurance issues and claim disputes. After a loss, you rely upon your insurance company to promptly resolve your claim.
