A client signed a six month contract for let's say $18,000, and pay $3,000 per month. No work is completed before payment.
They paid the first month but not the second or any subsequent months.
I live in New York and the client lives in Pennsylvania.

Since you live in New York and the potential defendant lives in Pennsylvania, it makes very little sense to sue for one month's worth of the contract because it will cost you at least that amount to do so. As to whether you should sue for the remainder of whatever it is you wanted to purchase,... View More

That may be tricky.
You should have your own NDAs covering all yours and your subcontractors' bases as well as covering non-compete areas.
You should have your customers sign them, as well as your subs.
Hopefully the sub will be satisfied with that

I purchased several gold coins at auction and paid by personel check. Seller has only provided one out of eight coins and I'm still owed about $8000 and other fees. Do I hire a lawyer in Pima Co or Washington state? I need to place a lien or attach seller's assets based on judgement.
answered on Mar 4, 2019
It will depend on where the defendant is or has assets.
Most likely you need an attorney in that jurisdiction.
From the facts you mentioned it looks like you should look for an attorney in WA.
If you got a judgement in AZ, possibly you can domesticate it in WA and enforce it.
Best luck
Changing the address of the company to my address and appointing myself as the new statutory agent as the only surviving member. His heirs are now threatening to dissolve the company. Can they do that? The company was not part of their family trust.

The family of the deceased member might be able to dissolve your LLC. Your Operating Agreement may be of help. It may have provided a succession plan in the event one of the members died.

No, Arizona is an "at will" employment state and, unless you are working under an employment contract, your employer is free to make staffing changes at any time.
An international attorney may best be suited to answer this question.
answered on Oct 23, 2018
Of course, but that may not be the question you want to ask. You want to ask “Where May I sue my partner for depriving me of my rights under my contracts with him?” That Answer depends on where the contracts were made; it may depend on where the contracts were intended to be performed; and it...

Additional details to this question would be why the need for statues and codes that aren't in line with the uniform commercial code?
answered on Sep 11, 2018
The Uniform Commercial Code was established for standardizing transactions in a number of areas, including the sale of goods, negotiable instruments, banking transactions, letters of credit, secured transactions, and other areas. However, state and local legislatures can enact laws in these areas... View More

You can set up your business as an LLC but, if you will be performing services for others that are traditionally performed by licensed agents in Arizona, you will need to employ a licensed person and perform services under his/her license.

The powers given to shareholders vs. directors vs. officers are generally going to be dictated by the bylaws for the corporation. The same goes for the specified process for removing directors from the board. You need to find the Bylaws and follow the process set forth there.

In a general sense, one of the goals of forming a business entity is to limit the liability of the owners to only what they put into the business and what it earns. However, the success of this goal depends on a lot of factors. You don't mention whether or not you actually formed a business... View More

Sounds like you've got a wage and hour claim. You should either contact an attorney who works in this area in your state or you may be able to call your state department of labor and see what they can do for you.
Signed security alarm system for 60 months at home address. Moved out of state. Does that contract now become voided and service should be cancelled with no penalties?

When it comes to interpreting any contract, it always boils down to the terms of the specific contract that you signed. With some notable exceptions, the courts and the law tend to stay out of contractual relationships, allowing parties to enter into contracts on terms to which both sides agree.... View More
