Quality Legal Representation

Foster Massengill, PLLC serves clients in a variety of legal contexts. Even if we are unable to handle your legal needs, we may be able to refer another attorney more suited to your needs. Learn more about our services below.

Civil Litigation

Personal injury, construction defects, business disputes - these are just a few of the types of civil cases that can end up in a courtroom. Civil litigation can be expensive, emotionally draining and stressful for all parties involved.

There are a lot of attorneys that promise aggressive representation, or a quick end to your legal problems. However, quick fixes rarely provide the resolution that you are looking for. At Foster Massengill, PLLC we take a common sense approach, looking for solutions rather than picking fights. We look at your objectives - both legal and personal - to achieve a positive resolution to your legal issues.

If you are facing a lawsuit, or have been wronged by someone else, we recognize that you likely have a lot of questions. Call our office today for a no obligation consultation to discuss your case.

Family Law

We understand that how you handle any family matter will affect your relationships for years to come. That is why choosing the right attorney to represent your case is so important.

Many lawyers look for an adversarial solution to family issues, applying the law to the facts then calling it a day. But family matters are rarely so simple. Relationships need to be preserved. Civility should be upheld.

We look for common sense solutions to your family law case that help you achieve your goals. We are strategic, practical and ethical. Moreover, we seek to provide quality service that you can count on.

We encourage you to give our office a call today to schedule a no-obligation consultation.

Legislation sets forth rights and duties for both landlords and their tenants, protecting the financial interests of both parties. Violation of those laws by either the tenant or the landlord can lead to monetary damages, attorneys fees, eviction or release from the rental agreement.
