When hiring a lawyer, it is important to find one who understands your needs. Crossland & Associates has represented a wide variety of business and individual clients, making it likely that we have a head start on understanding the needs of each client that follows.  Even though every client is unique and we will always take the time to understand their specific problems and requirements, our experience with a broad range of clients makes it easier to focus on precisely what makes each one distinctive.  This approach, coupled with our uncommon commitment to service, quality and integrity, has resulted in valued long-term client relationships.  Here is a sampling of clients we represent:

We represent individuals of all ages and backgrounds.  In describing our individual clients, it therefore makes sense to look at the types of legal needs with which we have helped them rather than in terms of defining characteristics.  Many people are surprised to learn that most of the legal work we do for individuals has nothing to do with lawsuits.  However, there are many good reasons that people have sought our legal advice and services outside the litigation process, including to avoid litigation in the future.  For example, we have advised our clients on such diverse non-litigation matters as estate planning; creating trusts; buying and selling real estate; probating an estate; entering into contracts covering such matters as product purchases and personal services; changing a legal name; and negotiating an easement to use a neighbor's land.  Unfortunately, individuals do sometimes need legal advice and services on disputed matters, which may require extensive negotiations or even litigation to resolve.  We represent people in those matters as well.  Many times we can achieve fair, reasonable settlements on our clients’ behalf without the necessity of going to court.  However, if circumstances are such that settling the dispute is not the best option, we are equally able to represent our clients in a court of law.  We have successfully represented people resolving many different types of disputes.  Examples include breach of contract; landlord/tenant actions; disputes between business partners; claims against a vendor who sold a product that did not work as promised; fraud actions; libel and slander; and property disputes between neighbors.  To find out about other legal services that Crossland & Associates can provide to individuals, please see the Areas of Practice section of our website.
