Aboriginal Legal Issues

Jessica Wegg actively seeks out opportunities to further her growth and experience relating to Aboriginal legal issues. She is presently working with several First Nations in British Columbia to provide legal support, research, and writing as they journey through the Treaty process. Saeed & Little is excited to work with other Indigenous-focused lawyers and law firms in Canada on a co-counsel basis and welcomes inquiries and opportunities in this area.

Immigration Issues

Saeed & Little has helped individuals and families immigrate to the U.S. and to Canada. We have successfully applied for work permits and permanent residency for clients moving to Canada and for work and study permits, extraordinary abilities visas, and citizenship for clients in the United States. If you are planning or trying to immigrate to the U.S. or Canada and need a lot of help, or just some guidance, Saeed & Little can help.

American Legal Issues

Legal issues related to the States can arise in many ways. For example, if you are doing (or want to do) business with a U.S. company, if you were in a car accident in the U.S., if you have any claims arising out of U.S. military service, or if you have relatives in the U.S. and have questions about wills and estates. At its core, Saeed & Little is a law firm for people who need help, and if you have a question about U.S. law and we can’t help you with it, we can help you find someone who can.

Institutional Sex Abuse

Since 2011, Jessica Wegg has been representing individuals and families affected by institutional sexual abuse – that is, sexual abuse by predators such as coaches or priests, where the abuse is known about or ignored by the athletic organization or church. Even if the abuse occurred decades ago, there are still ways the legal system can help (both in the U.S. and Canada).

If you have been abused, or suspect child abuse, report it to the police.

David Miller

Attorney, Barrister and Solicitor

David routinely represents individuals and communities in disputes with insurance carriers stemming from the carriers’ claims handling tactics. Carriers are often incentivized to obtain the lowest possible settlement value for a claim, or to refuse a claim altogether. To achieve this goal, carriers sometimes resort to practices designed to frustrate claimants, prolong the claims process, and drain claimants’ resources, forcing them into unfair settlements. David is committed to acting on behalf of claimants facing these unfair practices.

Prior to becoming an attorney, David worked as a skilled laborer and contractor. His years of experience as a contractor specializing in storm-related insurance claims have provided him with a deep understanding of the claims process and the methods used by insurance carriers to deny, delay, and defend paying honest claims.

David received his U.S. and Canadian law degrees in 2012 and joined Saeed & Little LLP in 2013. In addition to his work on behalf of claimants in disputes with insurance carriers, he assists clients in matters involving construction law, first party insurance litigation, contract disputes, personal injury matters, and wrongful death suits.

A lifelong Hoosier, David was raised in Hendricks County and still has strong ties to the area. He grew up in a farming community and credits the years he spent on the farm for his work ethic and commitment to his clients.
