Nevada Law Firm Practice Areas

Information Provided by a Nevada Attorney

The Nevada law firm of Eric A. Stovall, Ltd. takes pride in its focus on the personal attention that our clients receive. Our clientele is located throughout Nevada, including in Las Vegas, Sparks and Reno. Since legal representation can be expensive, our firm has instigated payment plans and fees dependent upon the type of case involved. Our attorney focuses his practice in the areas of personal injury, construction, business and commercial litigation, insurance litigation, workers' compensation and adoptions. Our personalized service, aggressive representation and trial experience have provided our clients with the quality legal assistance that they needed in the following areas:

• Adoptions

  Adoptions are a very personal issue that involves much emotion, both joy and stress. Our adoption attorney is particularly passionate about his cases and has represented and advised clients in adoption matters related to agency adoptions, independent adoptions, identified adoptions, international adoptions, stepparent adoptions, contested adoptions, non-contested adoptions and other matters involving the termination of parental rights. Our clients include most of the licensed adoption agencies in Nevada. If you need a compassionate adoption attorney who has your best interests at heart, as well as those of the child, contact the Nevada adoption attorney at Eric A. Stovall, Ltd. We are prepared to help you with your adoption, whether it is local, interstate, or international.

• Business and Commercial Litigation

  Our business litigation attorney represents business owners, construction companies, real estate developers, architecture firms, lenders and manufacturers in business disputes. These disputes often affect the business' revenues, competitive position and client relationships. If you need an attorney for your business dispute, contact our Nevada commercial litigation attorney at Eric A. Stovall, Ltd. to discuss your case. Unlike the large law firms, at Eric A. Stovall, Ltd. we strategically plan litigation to vigorously represent our clients in a manner that recognizes the cost - benefit analysis that business requires.

• Construction

  Our construction attorney represents owners, general contractors, sub-contractors, design professionals and suppliers in construction litigation cases in Nevada. Many of our cases involve defending and prosecuting construction defect actions, claims due to delays or changes in the site conditions, deficiencies in design or construction, mechanic's lien claims and other breach of contract matters. Additionally, our Reno construction lawyer also represents insurance and surety companies in defending their insured's and principals.

• Insurance Litigation

  As a Nevada insurance litigation firm, we aggressively attack an insurance company's bad faith actions and vigorously defend the legitimate claims practices of a different insurance company. Many of these claims involve business liability, coverage disputes, cancellations, overcharge of premiums, life insurance claims, disaster insurance claims, insurance fraud and delayed and denied claims. Prior to admission to the bar, Eric A. Stovall, Esq. was a licensed property and casualty/life and health insurance agent, running his family's independent insurance agency. Consequently, Mr. Stovall is able to insightfully and effectively represent both the insured and insurers. This diversity gives him unique insight into insurance issues that few other firms can match.

• Personal Injury

  If you have been injured as the result of negligence, you need a Reno personal injury attorney that will aggressively seek compensation for your losses while you recover. While many personal injury attorneys are found simply by watching television advertisements, the injured party does not realize that these lawyers are simply media figureheads who do not actively try cases. Rather than focus on touting ourselves on television, we spend our time and energy obtaining maximum compensation for injuries. Many of our cases involve vehicular accidents and our Reno car accident lawyer has experience handling these cases. Additionally, we can assist you with slip and falls, trip and falls, pedestrian accidents, medical malpractice, and more. Contact the Nevada personal injury attorney at Eric A. Stovall, Ltd. to vigorously pursue your medical bills, including doctor and hospital bills, lost income, pain and suffering, emotional distress and other losses you suffered because of this injury.

• Surety

  As a Reno surety lawyer, it is important to understand the differences between the principal, the obligee and the indemnitor and to represent sureties on a regular basis. Unfortunately, not all insurance defense attorneys understand these facts and how a surety bond is different from an indemnity policy. Our surety lawyer understands these differences and focuses on surety bond claims.

• Workers' Compensation

  As a Nevada workers' compensation law firm, we understand the importance of the Workers' Compensation Act to provide coverage to employees who are injured on the job. This Act provides compensation for lost wages, disability and permanent loss of function and disfigurement, as well as medical bills. However, these funds are not always enough to compensate for many on the job injuries, such as lead poisoning, construction accidents, head injuries, toxic chemical injuries, falls from ladders or scaffolds or death. Our workers' compensation lawyer regularly represents employers and third-party administrators in workers' compensation cases. We understand the problems faced in these cases and provide the aggressive representation needed. Additionally, we represent injured workers but limit that representation to new claims involving serious injury or death.

• Wrongful Death and Serious Injury

  When someone is killed or seriously injured due to negligence, that person or his or her family needs to retain a wrongful death attorney or serious injury attorney as quickly as possible to compensate the beneficiaries for their losses. Cases involving death and serious injuries such as brain damage, spinal cord injuries, amputations and other serious injuries receive our maximum effort and attention. We understand the devastating effects of these personal injuries and their long-term consequences. When we undertake these types of cases, we often retain expert consultants to assist us in the case. In the past we have hired accident reconstructionists, fire and origin specialists, propane experts, economists, as well as orthopaedic and neurological specialists. While the type of specialist retained is dependent upon the unique facts of each case, you need to know that these life-changing cases receive our full focus and all necessary resources to maximize the recovery to which our clients are legally entitled.
