McGahren, Gaskill & York, LLC represents and advises clients who are or might become involved in a lawsuit or appeal as a result of a dispute, including prevention and settlement, in such areas as commercial litigation, employment and discrimination claims, civil litigation, personal injury claims, and criminal defense. We represent individuals, companies, and other entities, and our attorneys regularly appear in both state and federal courts and before administrative officers and regulatory agencies. Some of the matters in which we have been engaged include the following:
Administrative Law-Our firm represents clients in all aspects of federal and state regulation, including administrative appeals and litigation before the courts. We are well versed in the requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act, which deals with administrative hearings and adjudication, administrative investigations, administrative officers and agents, administrative rulemaking, licensing, and regulatory enforcement.
Complex Business Litigation-We have experience in complex business litigation cases involving business fraud, shareholder rights, lender liability, director and officer liability, and business torts of all kinds.
Contracts-Our firm has experience representing clients in business, commercial, and private contract disputes involving sales, leases, real estate, and employment contracts. An experienced attorney can help you avoid future legal problems through proper drafting and by explaining your contractual rights and duties.
Employment Law-Employment law covers a complex network of laws that controls how employers must treat employees, former employees, and applicants for employment. Our firm has significant experience in interpreting and construing state and federal statutes and case law in areas such as employment discrimination, affirmative action, sexual harassment, employee benefits, whistleblower litigation, wrongful discharge, employment contracts, the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Family Medical Leave Act, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the Federal Employer's Liability Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and special laws governing municipal employment.
Family Law-We handle a full range of family law matters including adoption, divorce, property division, spousal support, separation, premarital agreements, paternity, child custody, visitation, and child support.
Intellectual Property Law-We have wide ranging experience in copyrights, patents, trade dress, trade secrets, and trademark matters, representing both individual and business intellectual property creators and developers. Because much of today's intellectual property is highly technical and involves technology licensing, our intellectual property lawyers are trained in scientific and technical fields as well as the law and are experienced in international intellectual property law to keep pace with the expanding global economy.
Personal Injury-Our firm represents individuals involved in controversies alleging a wrong or damage to another's person, rights, reputation, or property resulting from events or activities such as automobile accidents, workplace accidents, defective products, dog bites, legal malpractice, medical malpractice, sexual abuse, slip and fall accidents, the infliction of emotional distress, intentional misconduct, and negligence.
Products Liability-We have years of experience in representing individuals who have been injured as a result of an unsafe product that was designed, manufactured, sold, and/or furnished by a person or company. We assist those injured individuals in bringing their claims and being fairly compensated for their injuries. Our attorneys have represented individuals injured by asbestos, apparel, alcoholic beverages, firearms, food and agricultural products, machinery and tools, medical products and devices, motor vehicles, pharmaceutical products, recreational products, and tobacco.
Workers' Compensation-Our attorneys represent employees who are injured on the job in claims for lost wages and medical treatment expenses against private industry, federal, state, and local government employers and their workers' compensation insurers. We handle issues dealing with defenses, fraud, subrogation, and appeals.
Wrongful Death-If you've lost a loved one in an accident or as the result of a faulty or defective product or piece of equipment, our firm can represent your interests against the parties at fault and their insurance companies to seek damages on your behalf.
