Personal Injury
We have been representing clients with personal injury claims for more than 45 years. If you or a family member has been injured as a result of an automobile accident, a tractor-trailer accident, an unsafe product, a dog bite, the service of alcohol to an intoxicated person, or by way of some other form of carelessness, you can rest assured we have the experience and commitment to handle your case. There is no fee to you unless there is a monetary recovery for you.

Commercial Litigation
Our firm handles a wide variety of business litigation claims involving such matters as non-competition contracts, damage to commercial property, unfair trade practices, and non-payment pursuant to contract. We pride ourselves on handling these types of matters aggressively yet in an economical manner in order to meet the best interests of our clients.

Business Law
Hundreds of small and large business clients have utilized our legal services over the last 45 plus years. Our counsel will guide you in implementing and creating the optimum business structure for your business. We have vast experience in preparing the necessary documents for business formation, partnership agreements or dissolution, incorporations, limited liability companies, stockholder agreements, employment contracts and assets purchase agreements.

Estate Planning / Estate Administration
We have extensive experience in preparing simple or complex wills with trust provisions, Living Wills and Powers of Attorney. We offer estate planning to protect assets in cases where nursing home care is needed. Estate administration usually begins with the probate of the decedent's will and ends with the final distribution to the beneficiaries. The process entails working closely with the personal representative to gather and liquidate the assets, pay the decedent's bills, and file all forms and death tax returns. We make a determination as to the best methods available for filling the estate's income tax returns to optimize tax savings for the heirs. We attempt to keep the administration of the estate to the shortest time-frame and lowest cost.

Real Estate
Many large and small residential real estate transactions are handled by our firm. We prepare and review leases, agreements of sale, notes, mortgages, and home ownership papers on a regular basis. We can serve to represent your interests at a closing or a refinancing. We are a title agent for Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company which can insure your title at competitive rates anywhere in Pennsylvania. We also handle real estate tax assessment appeals.

Our firm also handles commercial real estate transactions including the representation of buyers, sellers, local governments, developers, and contractors. We assist clients before municipal bodies, such as zoning boards and planning commissions. From the complexity of assisting a client that is building a major production facility to the simplicity of helping a client purchase a small floral shop, Haggerty McDonnell & Hinton LLP can handle all of your commercial real estate needs.
