Criminal Defense — Employment Law — Business Law — Family Law — Wills

Contact our firm to schedule a free initial consultation to discuss your legal matter, in any of the following practice areas:

Criminal defense: If you've been arrested for drunk driving (OWI or DUI), theft, drug possession or another serious crime, you owe it to yourself to consult with an experienced criminal defense lawyer about your options.

We defend people facing all types of felony and misdemeanor criminal charges, including fraud and embezzlement, domestic violence, assault and battery, robbery and weapons charges. We also defend clients charged with sex offenses including rape and Internet sex crimes such as child pornography and online solicitation. We also help eligible people seek expungements to clear their criminal records.

Police brutality: If you or someone you love was injured when a police officer, sheriff's deputy, prison guard or other law enforcement officer beat you or used unlawful force against you, you deserve justice. We seek compensation for people whose civil rights have been violated. We handle cases of false arrest, unlawful search and seizure, and police misconduct.

Family law and divorce: Even if you are the one who is filing for divorce, the breakup of a marriage is never easy. We can help you resolve divorce-related issues such as child custody, child support, division of marital property and alimony support.

Employment law: We stand up for workers who have been victims of discrimination, sexual harassment or unfair employment practices in the workplace.

Our attorneys can help with all of these issues, as well as provide options for business succession and estate tax planning. When disputes occur, we aggressively protect our clients' interests in will contests and trust disputes.

Bad faith insurance: We vigorously protect consumers who are denied payment on valid insurance claims in bad faith. Our attorneys seek maximum compensation for individuals or businesses victimized by bad faith insurance claim denials.

Social Security Disability: Our law firm is committed to helping people whose disabilities leave them unable to work and therefore have little or minimal income. Whether you need help filing for Social Security Disability benefits or have been denied coverage, we are ready to help you.

Administrative hearings: Whether you need to fight the suspension of your driver's license after an OWI arrest, appeal denied unemployment benefits, or protect your professional license, Stearns & Coppins, PLLC can represent you in the administrative hearing.
