CIVIL LITIGATION
Did someone victimize you? Are you accused of wrongful conduct? If so, you should immediately and privately consult with a lawyer. Until you speak with an attorney, you should preserve all evidence, write down in a notebook exactly what happened, and not publicly write or say what happened so as to not make party admissions which can be twisted out of context and used against you in court.
CRIMINAL DEFENSE
Have criminal charges been filed against you? Are law enforcement agents attempting to question you about matters involving you? If so, you should immediately contact an experienced criminal defense attorney for assistance. It may mean the difference between freedom and the loss of one's liberty.
EMPLOYMENT LAW
Are third-parties contacting your employer or customers in attempt to try to cause them to cease pay you for serves you render? Is another employee wrongfully accusing you of misconduct due to your political or religious beliefs? Did your employer terminate you due to your political or religious beliefs and would like you to accept a severance package in exchange for waiving your right to sue?
Employment law involves many nuances, and people who consult lawyers sooner rather than later when controversy arises tend to fair much better than those who do not.

UNCOVERING LAW ENFORCEMENT SURVEILLANCE RECORDS
Have you been involved in politics? Have you been the subject of a government investigation? Would you like to know if government agencies are keeping tabs on you or your business or organization? Are you a journalist interested in finding newsworthy records in the government's possession? Are you interested in obtaining access to files government agencies have on your political opponents?
If you suspect that the government is spying on you, you are probably right. Surveillance of political dissidents is not a new practice of the federal
government, for between 1956 and 1971, the FBI engaged in a series of illegal
and covert projects aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting, and
disrupting left-wing and right-wing political organizations.
By way of the federal Freedom of Information Act, American
citizens can seek access to records that the federal government has in its
possession. At the state level, people can seek records from
Ohioan state and municipal agencies via the Ohio “Sunshine Laws,” and
people can seek records from Michigan state and municipal agencies via the
Michigan Freedom of Information Act.
