In addition, each of our partners has undergraduate and graduate level business degrees, so we know what it takes to survive and thrive in today’s competitive business environment.

Government Claims + Litigation
In the age of big government, we are finding that more of our cases address governmental wrong-doing. While the deadlines for filing against government wrongdoers tend to be shorter and the filing process more complex, we have recovered millions of dollars on behalf of citizens and government workers who have been injured by governmental wrongdoing. No one benefits from corrupt governance. At Dicks & Workman Attorneys at Law, APC, we are proud to challenge our government to do better by calling dysfunctional governmental entities, agencies and agents out in court when they break the law. We have represented both ordinary civilians and government workers who have been injured by the following governmental wrong-doing:
Bane Act violations
Civil Rights and Constitutional violations
Coverup and conspiracy
Dangerous conditions on public property
Defective road and sidewalk design
Excessive force by a police officer
False arrest
Illegal blood draw
Illegal surveillance
Injuries caused during hot pursuit
Monell violations
Racial discrimination
Sexual and gender discrimination
Sexual assault by a police officer
Unlawful detention
Video voyeurism
Violation of LGBT Rights
Wrongful conviction
Personal Injury
No one wants to be a victim, but sometimes even the most self-sufficient and careful individuals get injured through no fault of their own. When this happens, we help injured clients try to get back on their feet by seeking a fair monetary settlement or jury verdict on their behalf to aid with past and future medical bills, past and future earning loss, life care planning, pain management and suffering. Furthermore, injuries do not have to be physical to be compensable. Recently, we are seeing more clients who have been injured from high-tech abuses like on-line bullying, on-line posting of private images, video voyeurism, illegal surveillance, on-line stalking, and other forms of invasion of privacy and damage to reputation.
