Where We Handle Cases
|
The Law Office of Richard
T. Seymour P.L.L.C.
and I focus primarily on cases arising under Federal law. I will
handle some claims that are based on State or local law where this
adds a significant benefit for our clients. In these instances,
we work out an arrangement with a local attorney to work with us,
complying with the State ethical rules.
Cases under Federal law are often handled in Federal courts, and
very often involve a formal association with out-of-state attorneys.
Claims based on State law - such as claims for breach of contract,
fraud, wage payment, overtime, negligent supervision, negligent
retention, and the like - can be very valuable in some States.

Because State laws and periods of limitations differ from one state
to another, a claim that is very valuable in one State may have a much
lesser value - or may not even exist - in another State. Federal courts
sometimes decide claims under State law, and other times those claims
have to be heard in State courts.
We will ONLY provide legal advice about claims based on State or local
law outside the District of Columbia, and will ONLY represent people on
these claims, if I also arrange an association with an attorney licensed
to practice in the State or area in question, and within that State’s
ethics rules.
We can arrange associations with good attorneys across the country.
I have previously worked, or am working with, local attorneys in cases
and other matters in:
- Alabama;
- Florida;
- Idaho;
- Indiana;
- Louisiana;
- Maryland;
- Massachusetts;
- Michigan;
- Mississippi;
- New Jersey;
- New York;
- North Carolina;
- Ohio;
- Oregon;
- South Carolina;
- Texas;
