Practice Areas


Personal Injury

We help people injured in car accidents, medical malpractice cases, slip & fall, wrongful death, nursing home abuse, and many other types of injuries caused by the negligence of another. We know that it can be difficult to recover while fighting for the compensation you deserve; we're ready to fight for you.

Car Accidents

If you were injured in a car accident, you need a local car accident lawyer to help you fight for full and fair compensation. We have the resources, experience, and knowledge necessary to represent clients who have suffered injuries in a car accident because of the negligent actions of another driver.

Wrongful Death

If you lost a loved one to wrongful death, the grief can make it difficult to function; let alone to seek justice. Our experienced wrongful death lawyers can bring a wrongful death lawsuit seeking compensation for your family’s financial and emotional losses, including lost wages and expenses.

Medical Malpractice

Our dedicated and experienced medical malpractice lawyers fight for justice on behalf of those injured by medical negligence. Each step of the pre-trial and trial process is handled with care from gathering information to retaining expert witnesses, to pre-trial litigation.

Pedestrian Accidents

It’s not hard to understand why pedestrians are so vulnerable on the road compared to drivers. When a pedestrian accident causes debilitating injuries or wrongful death, you want a skilled and experienced pedestrian injury lawyer on your side to fight for a full and fair settlement.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists are more vulnerable to serious injury than those inside a car when they are involved in a motor vehicle accident. Our motorcycle lawyers have decades of experience fighting for justice and full compensation on behalf of injured motorcyclists.

Bicycle Accidents

Bicyclists hardly stand a chance against a motor vehicle, which is what makes bicycle accidents so dangerous. Your best chance of receiving a full and fair settlement for your injuries is with the help of an experienced bicycle accident lawyer by your side.

Child Injury

Children are more susceptible to injuries and may need medical care as well as counseling to heal from the trauma of being involved in an accident. If your child has sustained a serious injury due to the negligence of another, a child injury lawyer can help you seek justice.

Slip and Fall

Slip and fall accidents affect thousands of Americans every year – seniors are especially vulnerable. A qualified slip and fall accident lawyer knows local premises liability and social host liability laws and is best suited to recovering a settlement in a slip and fall accident case.

Maritime Accidents

Fishermen, longliners, fish processors, factory trawlers, gill netters, seiners, draggers, deckhands, and other commercial maritime workers take on a high risk for injury on the job but when an injury occurs as a result of a negligent employer, a maritime injury lawyer can help.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING


Claire

I had the privilege of being represented by Michael Tario and his team, and I cannot recommend their services highly enough. Their legal expertise and steadfast support were instrumental during a prolonged deposition. Michael Tario and his team's meticulous preparation ensured that I felt informed, composed, and well-equipped to navigate the complexities of the process.

Sherri

Mr. Tario worked on my case to get me the best settlement possible. He is very passionate, generous and actually cares about you. His staff Sandy and Mars... you can't get any better than them. Always calling me to check in to see how I was feeling and my recovery. If I needed anything they would take over and get the job done. They actually care. This by far is the best team!

Marc

My experience working with Mr. Tario was wonderful from the start. From the first day I reached out, I was given all the help and information I needed to navigate the difficult path of recovery from my accident. It has been a positive educational experience where I feel I not only got the best compensation possible, but I also fully understand how Mr. Tario did this for me. Overall, a very positive experience.
