Our Lawyers

MSMC attorneys focus their practice on workers’ compensation, employment discrimination, personal injury claims, property damage claims, and social security disability law. Our associates and partners are driven advocates. MSMC’s strength lies in our ability to comprehensively analyze and understand complex legal issues and convey this information to our clients. We can answer your legal questions and find the best way to meet your goals.

Our criminal defense attorneys ensure that those who are charged with criminal offenses have the benefit and protection of their constitutional right to due process of law. Moreover, our personal injury lawyers can take away the burden of dealing with insurance companies so you can focus on what is most important—healing and continuing on with your life.

Additionally, we can help you file a workers’ compensation claim. If you’ve been injured at work, it can be very difficult both physically and mentally to go through the workplace injury process. Our main goal is to get you the medical and monetary benefits you are entitled to, and the MSMC team will help you put together important information like the obligations of your employer and their insurance company.
