Areas of Practice
General Practice
The communities of southern Ohio contain a variety of folks, all with a wide range of legal needs. The Burgess Firm does its best to serve the widest variety of clientele in order to truly provide a uniquely effective service. Generally, the areas mentioned on our home page are what we handle regularly. However, we are not opposed to evaluating cases on an individual basis if they are outside of those practice areas, so please do not let those categories deter you from giving us a call or sending us an email.
PERSONAL INJURY AND WRONGFUL DEATH
Clermont County Ohio and especially the Ohio State Route 32 Highway are heavily trafficked areas, both on the road and off, where injuries are common. If you or a loved one are injured in an accident, whether it be in a motor vehicle or while out in public, there may be compensation available—and we can help maximize recovery. With over 40 years of experience and numerous large verdicts and settlements achieved by our firm in that time, we are equipped to assess your injury or tragedy and to put you and your loved ones at ease knowing you will have someone on your side to make sure that your injury or tragedy is justly compensated. Often times medical issues are also included in these matters and we are willing to evaluate cases of medical negligence.
outside the Firm's area of practice
The law is complex and expansive. Because we are a general practice firm, we try to help every client that comes through the door, even if that means referring them to practitioners who can provide a service better tailored to a specific type of case. Specifically, we will normally refer clients with the following types of cases to other firms: Bankruptcy; Domestic Matters; Criminal Defense/OVI; Employment Law; Social Security and Disability; and Complex Tax Litigation. Again, we are not opposed to setting up a meeting to consult on a potential legal issue, but if it relates to one of these areas, we may only be able to refer you or your loved one to another practitioner in the southern Ohio legal community.
ESTATE PLANNING AND PROBATE MATTERS
The legacy you leave behind is important and we can help you make sure that all of your hard work is protected with a comprehensive plan. Our firm has represented countless families in all the phases of estate planning, whether it be the crafting of the plan or any litigation related to previous planning. You can be confident that our skills and experience will ensure that your wishes become your legacy, or that the legacy that was left by a loved one is honored in its truest form.
