    With knowledge in the field of computers, web sites and the internet, attorney Sebastian Gibson has also expanded the practice of the law firm to include not only the fast growing area of internet law and internet fraud litigation, internet breaches of contract and internet intellectual property disputes but with over 25 years experience in litigation matters, the firm now also stands ready to handle cases involving E-Discovery, Document Retention matters, and Information and Emerging Technologies.

    One of the most exciting new areas of law is the growth of environmental cases that not only remedy environmental problems being suffered by clients but which can also serve to clean up environmental hazards facing our clients.  These matters arise in the areas of Environmental Construction Defects and Environmental Toxic Torts.

    Individuals are being physically injured by exposure to lead, mercury, zinc, chromium, arsenic, benzene, beryllium, pesticides, silica, manganese, formaldehyde and other toxins from places and things they would never have expected, including their own homes. Carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and chlorofluorocarbons are just some of the chemicals one faces in every day life.

    Groundwater pollution can come from wastewater, surface runoff, sewage, waterborne diseases, water quality, oil spills, ship pollution, and ocean acidification, just to name a few sources.  Soil pollution can come from herbicides, pesticides and even from invasive species.  Among those soil contaminants people should be most concerned with, are MTBE, heavy metals, hydrocarbons, and chlorinated hydrocarbons.

    In the health field, pollution can come in the form of contamination of blood, from the environment of the hospital, the medications, thimerosal (a preservative used to prevent spoiling in vaccines) surgical implants, the beds or from other patients.

    Despite numerous investigations by the FCC and the FTC, one continues to see claims being made on television, radio and in print advertising on behalf of miracle drugs, miracle cures and miracle diets by spokesmen for companies selling everything from drugs, to books to internet subscriptions to web sites.  The Law Offices of Sebastian Gibson stand ready to assist anyone suffering such frauds and incurring losses in the fields of advertising law, and in any antitrust class action cases where price-fixing or monopolization has been utilized to overcharge for advertising rates paid by responsible advertisers.  An associated area of misuse of advertising and television broadcasts and in the telecommunications field may well be in the areas of charitable fraud, claims of an ability to faith heal, and other religious abuses.

    If you’ve been injured or defrauded or suffered harm or damages or need legal assistance in any of these new areas of law, we invite you to call our offices or contact us using the contact form on the pages of this web site.
