sudden I get a letter saying they will be discontinuing business with me as of November 1, 2022. Do I have any recourse?

First, I'd ask why. Second, if you have a written agreement, review it and any applicable termination provisions.
I've been researching the best way to set up business entities and this is the conclusion I have come to. Is this an appropriate structure? Thank you
I currently have a Georgia LLC doing video editing and will be moving to Michigan in a couple of months. Since I will be doing the work in Michigan I assume I would register there, but do I have to register as a foreign entity in Georgia? Will I end up paying tax to both states? How does that work?...

If you begin conducting business in Michigan and don't do do anything else with the company, you will need to register in Michigan as a foreign entity since it is a Georgia entity (regardless of where you reside). Assuming you will not be moving back to Georgia soon, it makes sense to just... Read more »

I want to be sure I’m protected if the buyer defaults, or fails to maintain the business. The business is a franchised restaurant so there standards that need to be maintained. If the agreement includes a down payment, would I retain it as well?

There is always some level of risk involved in every business transaction. Providing owner financing and the nature of the franchise relationship will need to be taken into account. You can't eliminate risk, but you can manage risk by contemplating these issues in an asset purchase... Read more »

I do not know what "booked" means to you. If you have a written contract, you can enforce it. If you have a promise on the phone, then you have nothing.
There are staffing companies issuing 1099 to Registered Nurses who want to pick up shifts at different hospital? Is this even Legal due to the inability to pass the ABC test for independent contractor?

I cannot answer your question about the basis for the default because I can't examine the court file. Default judgments are taken without the knowledge of the defendant (you), hence the term.

answered on Sep 20, 2022
You have a breach of contract action that is unlikely to be material enough to allow you to rescind the contract, give back all the solar panel equipment, and get a full refund. You will be stuck with your contract. Your damages will be measured by the cost to correct and repair any faulty... Read more »

This may be a breach of contract. I would need to see the contract.

If the settlement was not put in writing, signed by both parties, and you made clear to the judge that you did not in fact agree to the settlement number the other side agreed to, then there is no enforceable settlement (i.e. no meeting of the minds with regard to the terms of the settlement).

It depends. I've had judges state the parties have reached an agreement, and put the terms of the agreement on the record and in the minutes. Even when this has happened, it was stated the parties would sign a settlement agreement memorializing what had been agreed to. Speak with a local... Read more »
His sister has had power of attorney for about 25 years and his wife of 12 years (together 16) is trying to get financial ownership of her and her husband, over his sister.
answered on Sep 19, 2022
Spouse can file for guardianship in probate court, which would terminate the sister's POA. Spouse should use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local probate attorney who handles guardianships.

Likely not. Towing laws are fairly strict and you should have the right to get your personal items out of the vehicle, including aftermarket items.
