PERSONAL LAW


Personal Litigation

"Now I know why lawyers are called 'mouthpieces.' In your closing argument, you said everything I wanted to say---except you said it so much better than I ever could."
--- A client to Jerome Boyle.

It's never easy, but an experienced lawyer can make the difference between success and failure. We are committed to obtaining the best possible results for our clients in court.

Some of our Cases on Personal Matters

Many attorneys claim to be litigators, but only a small percentage of these attorneys actually have trial experience. All of our lawyers are experienced trial attorneys and will fight for your rights in court, in front of a jury. Many attorneys avoid a trial and settle your case for less than its worth, but at Alvin W. Block & Associates, if we believe a trial is in your best interest, we're not afraid to go to trial. And, because of our extensive trial experience, if we believe a settlement offer is fair and reasonable, we'll give you a realistic recommendation. We've successfully represented individuals and have received million dollar jury verdicts and settlements for our clients.

A small sample of some of the cases include:

  • Injuries in automobile accidents resulting from improper driving, defective road conditions and defective equipment;
  • Monetary injuries from unscrupulous businesses for overcharging and charging for non-existent items;
  • Fatal injuries from public transportation vehicles due to improper maintenance and defective equipment;
  • Injuries to children resulting from improper care given by day care and child care workers;
  • Injuries resulting from airplane accidents caused by negligent maintenance and defective designs;
  • Money damages resulting from unfair business practices;
  • Will contests resulting in substantial distribution of decedent's assets to the rightful heir;
  • Money damages or injuries resulting from professional malpractice;
  • Injuries resulting from Civil Rights violations, including discrimination, unlawful search and seizure and brutality.
