We investigate the situation thoroughly. Our firm will review records and look for any evidence of wrongdoing or negligence. We provide the client with an analysis of the case to determine if there is some compensation available for the emotional distress they have suffered. If there is, with the client’s authority, we submit a demand to the appropriate parties in an attempt to reach some type of agreement. If one cannot be reached, we will then file suit on behalf of our client. If you have recently had a loved one pass away and feel the funeral was handled improperly, or that you were charged too much for the services you received, it is important that you contact a lawyer.

Our lawyers are familiar with the funeral service business and laws applicable to funeral service claims, and are aggressive in our representation. We provide high-quality, cost effective solutions that protect your interests.

Mortuary litigation concerns any action arising out of the funeral process. This litigation usually involves negligent or wrongful behavior by one of the parties involved in the funeral. It can either be a one time, one body event or can arise out of a scandal type situation that affects numerous families. We represent clients with individual problems or groups who wish to bring a law suit against negligent parties. Some of the problems our clients could encounter include:

• Body buried in the wrong place
• Body embalmed without permission
• Body parts illegally harvested without permission
• Improper embalming
• Tainted human tissue
• Charges for services not received
• Funeral services provider not properly licensed

When someone has passed away, they deserve to be treated according to their wishes and the process should be one that eases a family's pain - not one that adds to it. For helpful resources in your time of need go to our Funeral and Mortuary  Page.
