Civil Litigation and Mediation

Non-criminal cases are handled through civil litigation. In these cases, two or more parties (individuals or businesses) seeking money or other compensation for damages have the dispute settled through a trial, hearing, or an alternative form of dispute resolution such as arbitration or mediation.

For those seeking settlement who want to avoid the time and expense of going to court, mediation functions as an alternative dispute resolution method. As an impartial third party, the mediating attorney’s role is to guide the involved parties to a resolution of mutual satisfaction.

Whether through court action or mediation, the following types of disputes can be addressed with civil litigation:

Commercial transactions
Construction liability
Contracts
Divorce
Domestic relations
Employment or labor
Intellectual property
Landlord/tenant
Medical malpractice
Personal injury
Product liability
Property
Workers’ compensation

Criminal Defense

If you are facing criminal charges, you may be unfamiliar with the law or your constitutional rights. Sadly, both police and prosecutors know this and will count on your inexperience. For any criminal charge, having a lawyer who knows how to protect your rights is always an advantage - even if the offense seems minor. Penalties for a criminal conviction are wide-ranging. Hiring a trusted advocate is important.

We often defend clients against charges relating to:

Assault, domestic assault and aggravated assault
Burglary
Theft crimes
Drug charges
DUI offenses
Sex offenses

Healthcare Law

You obtained your license so you could practice medicine, not so you could deal with business matters. Nevertheless, you may find yourself struggling to understand the paperwork, regulations, compliance issues, and licensing matters you must deal with each day. Unfortunately, many operating in the healthcare field often find themselves facing charges of criminal wrongdoing because of a lack of attention to the critical rules that govern the many aspects of being a healthcare provider. Hagar & Phillips, PLLC has the expertise to advise you with all aspects of your practice so you never have to worry about compliance.

Our experience can benefit you if you are seeking guidance on any of the following and more:

Managed care and other contracts
Regulatory compliance
Disciplinary matters
