Why Would A Case Be A “Federal Case”?

There are two court systems in Vermont – the State system and the Federal system.  In personal injury cases, jurisdiction depends on the amount in controversy and the connection of the parties to Vermont.  Sometimes there can be an advantage to file in Federal Court, other times State Court is more appropriate, but more frequently a case does not qualify to be filed in Federal Court.  These are complicated issues that require legal advice to protect your rights.

Winburn Law Offices accepts cases throughout the State of Vermont and limit our practice to personal injury.  We have tried cases from St. Albans in the northern part of the state to Bennington in the southern part of the state and in most points in between including Rutland, Burlington, Woodstock, Brattleboro and the Northeast Kingdom.
