LITIGATION
When traditional negotiation fails, it can be necessary to file a lawsuit, and when that time comes, you want an attorney who is confident and knowledgeable about the trial process. Whether you have a business dispute, or you face a criminal charge as a result of a liquor permit citation, Jeffcott Law LLC will zealously advocate on your behalf to reach a positive outcome.
LITIGATION PRACTICE AREAS
Civil Litigation
Jeffcott Law handles various commercial litigation matters and other civil issues that hospitality business owners face. For example, dram shop laws are designed to hold business owners liable for the injury or damage caused by patrons who were served alcohol by the business. These are serious cases that can be very costly, so it is important to work with an attorney from the outset of the investigation. Jeffcott Law also handles breach of contract issues as well as business partner and employee disputes.
Criminal Litigation
A common criminal offense in the hospitality industry is the sale of alcohol to underage persons. This offense is a first degree misdemeanor, punishable by up to 180 days in jail. By putting together a comprehensive defense, we are often able to negotiate satisfactory pleas for our clients. In the event a plea is not agreed upon, we will not hesitate to take your case to trial. Jeffcott Law represents clients for underage sale cases and other drug and alcohol-related offenses. If you are charged with a crime, it is important to contact an attorney to fully understand your options.
