This may be due... View More

No lender gives money only to a single member LLC. Lender probably does not have to go after any collateral first in a guaranty, but that may be a defense. Deed in lieu of foreclosure may be an option. Breach of contract action against owner may be worth something. Consult with a competent HI... View More

A Hawaii attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. You may need to go outside this forum for guidance on Portuguese law - this is basically limited to U.S. law. Good luck

Was your "employer which is a corporation [ ] admin. dissolved or dissolve the company after [you] filed a lawsuit on them?" Are you preparing or reacting? How it is dissolved makes a difference. To answer your question, yes. What you need to do depends on the situation.

A Hawaii attorney is best qualified to answer your question, but your post remains open for three weeks.

I've notified all appropriate government agencies about the "theft." Research tells me Regulation E may cover me under these circumstances but I need an attorney's advice. Is there an attorney on the Big Island that I can consult about consumer bank law?

I am starting an online personal training and nutrition programming business, I am wondering which legal documents are required to protect me and if I need insurance if I have the client sign the correct documents.

Talk to a local business litigation lawyer about the details.
