Litigation
HBA provides a proactive litigation approach, while defending our clients' interests. At other times, different techniques might provide the greatest benefit. Rest assured, your interests come first!
Third Party Administrative
HBA has created large and small claims handling programs on behalf of insurers and sureties, administering claims made against commercial and contract bonds as well as automobile and other liability insurance claims. With more than 25 years of experience, and billions of dollars in claims administered, we have the necessary experience to meet your company’s needs.
Business Tranactions
We are proud to have taken the lead in numerous business transactions, representing buyers and sellers, including purchase and sale agreements, totaling in excess of $500,000,000 in assets.
Estate Planning
Estate planning is about more than documents—it’s about peace of mind. We help protect your family, safeguard your assets, and ensure your wishes are honored while minimizing taxes and avoiding conflict.
Labor Law
HBA provides legal counsel on issues involving labor law, employment discrimination and wage and hour matters. In addition to significant litigation experience, HBA has acted as corporate counsel for multiple corporations and counseled other corporations and individuals on labor matters.
Probate
Probate is the process of settling an estate—validating a will, paying debts, and transferring assets to heirs—but it can quickly become complex when disputes or real estate are involved. From routine probate to contested property and will disputes, we provide experienced representation to resolve matters effectively and ease the stress of a challenging process.
What our Clients are Saying
This case had everything. An uncooperative assignor, multiple complaints and cross-complaints, a five year statute of limitations issue, a Covid shut down, a judgment lien, a Motion for Order Authorizing Settlement, and a retiring judge. Even with all of that, you were able to create a large six-figure settlement for us, collecting money from all of the parties. You did an excellent job! Thank you!
