Your law firm should be a legal ally. At Dickson Frohlich Phillips Burgess, we believe that means providing basic information to our prospective clients to help them determine more than whether they need a lawyer, but what type of law their issue involves.

With that in mind, lawyers at Dickson Frohlich Phillips Burgess have compiled basic descriptions of the most common legal issues that our clients will likely encounter. Though this information is helpful, it should not be used as your exclusive legal resource. Each legal matter presents unique challenges, and we encourage you to consult an attorney regarding your specific legal matter.
