I recommend having your agreement reviewed by an attorney. It would also be helpful to your attorney to know more about... View More

you need a business attorney and possibly a family lawyer as well.

This is a somewhat open-ended question where attorneys could be hesitant to offer guidance; the list could be very broad and exhaustive. You could consult with an Arizona attorney to discuss your needs and budget, and address things that are reasonable and practicable to be concerned with. You... View More

Not being a member of the LLC is a disadvantage. But it sounds like you may have sufficient proof to establish that you were a partner in this business and, if so, you may be entitled to your share of any net sales proceeds after payment of the bills of the business. I recommend consulting with... View More

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

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.

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.

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...

Hello. I hate to say it, but this goes WAY beyond the kind of legal advice you should be seeking on an online question and answer forum. It's not really even clear whether you are the plaintiff or defendant, and it's nearly impossible to address issues relating to dismissal without a... View More

If Arizona is his home state you should use the address that he provided the military if this is still a good address. If not, you should have him authorize you to use your address.

Hello. You are experiencing first hand why these cut-rate online legal services are such a huge problem (and, I should add, how attorneys who do this kind of work often end up getting a fair amount of business trying to clean up all of the problems caused by these services.

I would use a different name. However, if this name is critical to your business, I recommend hiring a private investigator to locate the members of this LLC. Once located, you might negotiate a license to use the name or, perhaps, purchase the LLC itself. You must be certain that the LLC is... View More
