Personal Injury

Statistically, most people will be involved in one or more automobile accidents during the course of their driving experience. Hopefully such accidents will not involve bodily injury to you or those in your family. But if it does, you will most likely need an attorney.

Unfortunately, we cannot go back in time to before the accident occurred and change it so that you are not injured. The only way you can be compensated for the damage caused to you by somebody else’s negligence is through a monetary award. You can, and should, receive compensation for your medical treatment, lost wages, and the pain and suffering you experienced as a result of the accident.

Many people, even those who have been injured, often think that because they have insurance (automobile and/or medical) they do not need an attorney. But in reality, an attorney can assist you in resolving your claim more quickly and for a higher value than trying to do it yourself.

We have handled hundreds of cases on behalf of clients in Maryland and the District of Columbia. The fact is, most such cases are settled without having to go to court. But in order to get maximum value in your case, you must be prepared to go to court. We have tried many cases successfully, both before a jury and in front of only a judge, in both district court and circuit court. Based on that experience, we can help you obtain a true value for your case and assist you in returning to your normal life as quickly as possible.

 

Family Matters

The most important thing in our lives is our families. That’s why when there are difficulties within the family it can be a gut wrenching experience. Many people report that going through a divorce or a disagreement over child custody is the single most traumatic event in their lives. With the assistance of the attorneys at The Tyra Law Firm, we can help you get through this phase with dignity and respect.

The breakup of a marriage in and of itself is a traumatic experience. Adding to the difficulty is trying to adequately divide marital property, determining if alimony is appropriate, and making a determination regarding child custody, visitation, access, and support. Regardless of how well the parties get along, these decisions have a far ranging effect and most people benefit from the experience of an attorney in these circumstances.

We are going to assist you in keeping the lines of communication open, negotiating a just and fair outcome, and resolving your dispute so that all members of your family can get on with their lives with minimal scarring. But if it can not be avoided, we will vigorously represent you in court to see that you receive the benefits you are entitled to by law.

 

Domestic Violence

Sadly, domestic violence is one of the most prevalent forms of abuse today. Actual physical violence, threats of violence, and the fear of violence are all modern day realities for far too many families. Such abuse can happen between spouses, lovers, partners, friends, roommates, siblings, offspring – just about anybody.

The sad reality is that many people – whether as a result of fear, embarrassment, or ignorance – often times ignore such acts in hopes that one day they will cease to occur. But all too often this lack of action leads to an escalation in severity and the resulting confrontations can have deadly results.

The attorneys at The Tyra Law Firm can assist you in protecting yourself and your loved ones from violence or the threat of violence. We won’t push you into pursuing either. But if the situation warrants it, we are there to assist you. Peace Orders and Protective Orders can be useful in defusing volatile situations and our attorneys can aid you in obtaining such Orders.
