New Hampshire recently enacted a new law that makes it
more difficult for victims injured by the negligence of medical providers.
Before a victim can even bring a medical provider to court, a medical
screening panel must hold its own hearing to determine whether the case
has any merit. This process requires knowledge and experience in such
cases. Rob has the experience to represent you in such matters, and Rob
can help you and your family work through this process
During the birth and delivery
process, medical providers sometimes fail to fulfill their duties. Sometimes,
the victim of this negligence is the child. In some circumstances, Cerebral
Palsy can be
the result. The permanent disability associated with Cerebral Palsy cannot
be corrected through legal action, but our justice system does allow
victims to obtain damages. Sometimes, these damage awards or settlements
are very substantial. Contact Rob if you have questions about Cerebral
Palsy that may have been caused by the negligence of a medical provider.
Rob has represented clients injured on the job, on faulty stairs, on faulty balconies, in slip and falls on ice and snow, on dangerous parking lots, by dangerous substances and in many other scenarios.

Rob also represents victims of intentional wrongs such as defamation, wrongful interference with contractual relations, intentional infliction of emotional distress and discrimination. Dog bite cases are of special interest to our firm because there may be specific laws that apply to allow for substantial damages.
The New Hampshire Consumer Protection Act protects consumers against unfair or deceptive trade practices. Rob has a particular interest in such cases and you can look at the State of New Hampshire’s website:
We enter into agreements frequently in our day-to-day lives. From applying for a credit card to signing for a bank loan to ordering a product on the internet, contracts are a necessary part of being a consumer or a business owner. But parties to a contract do not always agree on the interpretation of its terms or abide by those terms. And some documents are just so wordy and confusing that it is hard to know whether signing them is a good idea. Rob has prepared, reviewed, mediated and litigated a wide variety of contractual agreements. Before you enter into an important agreement or get too deeply into a disagreement, give Rob a call. He can help you make good decisions so you do not unintentionally lock yourself into unfavorable terms and help protect your rights in case of a dispute.

But it is also something they sometimes believe their business cannot afford to pay for. Rob understands your need to keep expenses down and he is willing to work with you to find a way to make legal representation affordable for your small business. This includes making sure you know what the likely costs will be before you incur them so that you can plan your business budget accordingly. Here are some helpful links for small business owners:

For those who qualify, bankruptcy allow individuals or businesses the opportunity to discharge or pay back debts over a period of time. Please contact our office for information and ask for Attorney Jon Wallner. The bankruptcy laws are complicated, and you will want an attorney whose focus is on this area of practice. We are a federally designated debt relief agency pursuant to Title 11 of the U.S. Code. We provide legal assistance and help people file for bankruptcy relief under the bankruptcy code. Free initial bankruptcy consultation with an attorney. While the bankruptcy laws have required more debtors to file Chapter 13 rather than Chapter 7, for those that qualify, Chapter 7 is still a viable option. Chapter 7 is also known as a "fresh start" bankruptcy. Upon the filing of a chapter 7 (or 13), an automatic stay goes into effect. This stay immediately protects you from creditor harassment and collection calls. Upon the filing of a chapter 7, an "estate" is created with all of the debtor's non-exempt property. The trustee of the bankruptcy estate then collects the non exempt property, sells the property, and used the proceeds to pay creditors. The Debtor then obtains a "discharge," relieving them of any personal liability for most bankruptcy debts. Chapter 13 is also known as the "wage earner's bankruptcy." This chapter is aptly named as it allows debtors to propose a plan to repay their creditors over the life of the plan (anywhere from 3-5 years.) Feel free to call Attorney Jon Wallner toll-free at 1-800-706-6670 for a free, confidential initial consultation.
