- Criminal DefenseCriminal law involves government prosecution of an individual for an act that is classified as a crime. Criminal cases are tried through a state prosecutor who initiates the criminal law cases. Individuals who are convicted of a crime may be incarcerated, fined, or a combination of both.
- DUI/DWIThis lower court handles misdemeanors such as drunk driving, possession of CDS (controlled dangerous substances), assault and battery, shoplifting, etc. If you are charged with a felony, the court generally conducts a preliminary hearing only and can either dismiss the charge or send it up to the Circuit Court for trial.
- Wrongful DeathMedical Malpractice, also called medical negligence, is the failure of a medical professional to meet the standard of good medical practice in the field in which the medical professional practices. Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider – doctor, hospital, HMO, nurse, other individual or entity licensed to provide medical care or treatment – does something that competent doctors would not have done, or fails to do what a competent doctor would have done, resulting in personal injury or wrongful death.

- Workers CompensationThe workers compensation system was designed to help employees injured on the job or as a result of the job. The goal of workers compensation is to make it possible for an injured employee to focus on getting necessary medical treatment and coping financially while missing days, weeks or months of work due to the injuries sustained. Without work comp laws in place, the injured party would most likely be forced to litigate his or her claim against an employer, thus delaying the medical process and deepening financial hardship. Unfortunately, this goal is not always met and injured parties often do not get the assistance they need. Disputes arise over treatment, providers and the ability to return to the job many times. This is when having an attorney fighting for you is most valuable. The lawyers at Roland Walker & Marc L. Zayon, P.A. are experts in dealing with the types of problems you may face when dealing with a work-related injury.
