Family law issues encompass so many aspects of life. Family law is a legal practice area that focuses on issues involving family relationships such as marriage, adoption, divorce, etc. These are matters of the heart and can be highly emotional, especially in cases concerning children, precious assets, and heartbreak. It is important that when navigating these cases, you have an attorney that is both aggressive and compassionate.

If you sustained injuries due to someone else while driving, you may be entitled to compensation. You may be entitled to recovery of medical bills, and loss of income in the past and future. In addition, you could be entitled to damages for pain and suffering, permanent scarring, or the loss of impairment to any bodily function. We could fight to recover damages for each type of loss.
Types of MVA’s
There are various types of motor vehicle accidents that may allow you compensation, such as cars, taxis, buses, trains, and commercial trucks or semi-tractor-trailers. In particular train, trucking and bus accident cases are complex. These cases require a thorough understanding of federal rules and regulations, vehicle dynamics, accident reconstruction and vehicle computer systems (electronic control module or ECM). Not every attorney is familiar with the complex issues involved in these cases, and even fewer attorneys are prepared to take these cases to trial. Our trial lawyers work to resolve truck and bus accident cases outside of court whenever possible, but we are always ready to go to trial if that is the best way to protect our clients’ interests.
Municipal Law is the representation of cities, towns, counties and other governmental units, including representation of economic development corporations and sewer/water authorities. Additionally, lawyers are often involved in municipal law issues while navigating zoning processes related to the construction of single-family homes, subdivisions, commercial project, and industrial development projects.
The Law Office of Moshae Donald often represents public body clients with municipal issues, including: ordinance drafting and prosecution, taxation, building code and inspection issues, condemnation, zoning ordinance enforcement, land use, annexation issues, and sewer and water system questions.

Moshae works to aid NCAA student-athletes by putting them in position to appropriately and intelligently navigate compliance challenges while taking advantage of new changes. This practice helps current and potential NCAA athletes protect their eligibility while negotiating endorsements and deals arising out of their Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL).
Attorney Moshae Donald will provide contract drafting, contract review, and legal advice when an athlete is entering into an approved NIL relationship, and more. Engaging in the business of monetizing your name, image, and likeness is a serious matter that necessitates competent representation. The Law Office of Moshae Donald is NOT a sports agent.
When another person or business causes an accident or injuries, they should make the situation right without roadblocks or hassle. However, businesses and insurance companies make money by paying out as little as possible. If you or a loved one was in an accident or injured, you should fight to receive the compensation you deserve.

Compensation
In the past, we represented the at-fault parties such as businesses and insurance companies, so we are well positioned to anticipate our opponents’ next move and achieve optimal result for our clients. Time is of the essence when it comes to pursuing accident and injury compensation, so it is in your best interest to build a case as quickly as possible. Ultimately, attorneys are an extension of their clients. You must decide who you want on your side, protecting your rights and telling your story — because the way your story is told will have
a major impact on how juries see you and make decisions about you. Without an effective attorney telling your story, a jury will never understand or empathize with you.

Generally, a wrongful death is as an instance in which an individual passes away due to negligence or other misconduct of another person or business. Negligence is a person or business not acting responsibly, while misconduct may be reckless behavior or intentional harm committed by them.
