about 10 years ago, my family started a charity that I describe as "Make a Wish for adults with terminal conditions/disabilities." This charity was started in my late grandfather's name. when the charity was started, it had two of my family members on the board, the rest were close family friends... Read more »
These are difficult situations when the family founders lose touch with the charity since charities are not "owned" by anyone. Also depends on whether a public charity or a private foundation. Depends on original documents, tax status, and other factors. In Pennsylvania the Attorney General's... Read more »
Company A and Company B are two separate legal entities each having their own Federal tax ID number.
Company A signed a contract d/b/a as Company B. Which one is the legal responsible party?
A Pennsylvania attorney would be in the best position to answer this, based on state law considerations. But the question remains open for three weeks. As a general matter, it would be helpful to have additional information. For instance, why did one company sign in lieu of the other? Was it for... Read more »

My electric bill has been unusually high, so I called them. They informed me I had a 3rd party supplier on my bill I was unaware of.

Permission of the owner. The Borough may view you as a street performer and require a permit. There may be requirements that you do not block passage so you need to be sure you avoid a citation by reading, knowing, following the regulations. Maybe get a copy and discuss with the local precinct how... Read more »
You don't say who issued you a fine, whether a fine was issued or where the dumpster was located. My guess is that if your local township issued the fine, you need to contact them to find out what the rules are regarding lids on dumpsters.
Why would they be, if it's not open to the public? Much of that information may be gleaned from annual reports, and other public documents.
I am building my startup and I found an investor for my business (incorporated as LLC in PA, USA). Investor said that the deal will be done on the basis of equity financing. And now he is asking me to send the copies of my passport, certificate of incorporation, memorandum and articles of... Read more »
The articles of incorporation, memorandum and articles he should be able to get himself from the Pa Corp Bureau.
Passport?? I would question this.
Hey Guys, I am not sure the exact terms of this, but i own 10% of an LLC, while someone else owns 90%. We are talking about bringing in a capital partner somewhere in the 40% range.

the cat is know miss and i would love my cat back there are responsible for this action
To the best of my knowledge there is no answer to this question, in part because it is not a legal question. Leave the window open a few days to see if your cat will come back home.
Originally started business with sibling who then decided to become sole proprietor without my knowledge. She then made a request for a business name change that she took my name off, stole the business and the name from me along with the logo and documents such as contract agreements that she...

Contacting "local authorities" will probably do no good because this is clearly a family business matter. And unless you can show some actual damages the courts will also be hesitant to get involved. Finally, unless the actual amount of money involved is very substantial it is likely that the cost... Read more »
I am an Army officer, federal subcontractor and private business owner. Interested in attending school graduations at a base with the intent of hiring.
Better check in with JAG corps on this--sounds like potential multiple violations. You should know that access is for the specific purpose only. Can you hand out cards, or other items? Not sure of that but if someone is looking to burn you you're giving them a match it seems to me.
I live in the US. I purchased a product from a website, owned by a business operating out of India. I have the order confirmation and my credit card was charged. Now the business is canceling my order by telling that their price was wrongfully low due to a technical glitch and the actual price is... Read more »
It is a violation of bait-and switch, they have a contract, they should deliver; did they refund your card?
If not contact the consumer protection office of your attorney general. However they may not handle it as it's a foreign company even though doing business here.
How long is law school? I’ve always been curious about this question?
Three years full-time; four years part-time at night. Some schools have abbreviated programs that shorten it further.

How do I get around a breach? I'm trying to acquire the LLC and continue the current lease as is. The LLC owner wants to retire and offered to sell me his business. Would a partnership with the LLC be a better option rather than an acquisition? Another detail about this situation is that I am also... Read more »

In November of 2018 I received a notice from a sheriff’s deputy that a credit card debt that I had not paid was scheduled for arbitration for a date in July 2019.

The problem may be your "assumptions." I suggest contacting the Delaware County Bar Association for an attorney referral, and then sit down with him/her and going over everything. Knowledge is power, y'know?
Best of luck to you.

Yes, you should be able to. And, at worst, the Department of Labor & Industry can deny your claim and then tell you why (and then you can appeal, and often ultimately win). But you'll get nothing if you don't try, so *try* and try ASAP.
Best of luck to you.
