PRACTICE AREAS
Business Law
Managing and operating a successful business today comes with challenges. Legal issues can interfere with the natural course of your business, delaying operations and affecting your bottom line. For these reasons, it is essential that business owners work with experienced legal counsel to help navigate through the often-complex realm of business law.

Civil Litigation
The realm of civil litigation can be vast and often difficult to navigate on your own. From contract formation to landlord/tenant disputes to small claims, much is involved and can negatively affect you, a loved one, or your business. Communication is key in these situations. So too is having an experienced civil litigation attorney by your side.
While avoiding seeing the inside of a courtroom is preferred, there are times when it is the only way to resolve an issue. The attorneys with The Cosentino Law Firm, LLC will do everything possible to keep your legal matter from progressing this far, but will also confidently represent you if it does.
Resolving your civil law matter starts with a consultation where we listen to you and gain an understanding of your personal situation and position. From there, we discuss potential strategies and outcomes to meet your needs and let you decide how to proceed.

DCFS Defense
Navigating an incident report to the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) can be a scary and stressful process and often arises without notice.
