Explore our practice areas below to learn more about the legal services RCM Legal provides and how we may be able to help.
Probate Litigation
Disputes involving an estate can create complicated legal, financial and family issues. Probate litigation may arise when beneficiaries, heirs, executors or other interested parties disagree about the validity of a will, administration of an estate, distribution of assets or conduct of a fiduciary.
RCM Legal represents clients in contested probate matters involving wills, estates, executors, beneficiaries, inheritance disputes and allegations of fiduciary misconduct.
Personal Injury
When another person’s or company’s negligence causes an injury, the injured person may have the right to pursue compensation for resulting losses.
RCM Legal represents individuals in personal injury matters involving vehicle accidents, falls, dog bites and other incidents that cause physical or financial harm. Our personal injury attorneys in Glendale investigate the circumstances surrounding an injury, evaluate potential liability and pursue appropriate compensation from responsible parties.
Employment Law
California employees are protected by state and federal workplace laws but determining whether an employer’s conduct actually violates those protections isn’t always straightforward.
RCM Legal represents employees in workplace disputes involving wrongful termination, hostile work environments, harassment, retaliation and other potential violations of employee rights. Our employment attorneys evaluate what happened, applicable workplace protections and the evidence available to determine potential legal options.
Hostile Work Environment & Workplace Harassment
A hostile work environment may arise when unlawful harassment becomes sufficiently severe or pervasive to alter working conditions. Workplace harassment can involve sexual conduct as well as harassment connected to other legally protected characteristics.
RCM Legal helps employees evaluate workplace conduct, complaints to management or human resources, available documentation and potential legal remedies.
Wrongful Termination
Being fired unfairly and being fired unlawfully are not necessarily the same thing. California generally recognizes at-will employment, but employers still cannot terminate employees for certain illegal reasons.
RCM Legal represents employees who believe they were terminated because of discrimination, retaliation, reporting unlawful conduct or exercising legally protected rights.
Product Liability
Consumers should be able to use products without being exposed to unreasonable dangers. When a defective or unsafe product causes an injury, manufacturers, distributors, sellers or other parties may potentially bear legal responsibility depending on the circumstances.
RCM Legal’s product liability lawyers in Glendale represent individuals injured by defective or dangerous products and devices. We investigate how an injury occurred, the product involved and the parties that may be responsible.
Social Security Disability
Social Security Disability programs provide important financial assistance to qualifying individuals who are unable to work because of a disability, but applying for benefits and challenging a denial can be complicated.
RCM Legal assists individuals seeking Social Security Disability benefits, including SSDI and SSI. Our disability lawyers help clients understand the application, documentation, appeal and hearing processes and advocate for eligible claimants pursuing the benefits they need.
Civil Litigation
Not every legal dispute fits neatly within a single practice-area category.
Civil litigation encompasses a broad range of non-criminal legal disputes between individuals, businesses and other parties. Depending on the circumstances, a civil matter may involve financial losses, contractual obligations, property, employment, injuries, estates or other legal rights.
RCM Legal evaluates civil disputes and helps clients understand whether litigation may be appropriate, what remedies may be available and how best to proceed.
Not Sure Which Practice Area Applies to Your Situation?
Legal problems don’t always arrive with a convenient label.
Someone who has been fired after reporting harassment, for example, may potentially have issues involving both wrongful termination and workplace retaliation. An injury caused by a defective product may involve both personal injury and product liability law. A disagreement over an inheritance may ultimately require probate litigation.
You don’t need to determine the legal category before contacting an attorney. Tell us what happened. RCM Legal can evaluate your circumstances, identify the legal issues that may be involved and help you understand your options.
