This is a very complicated issue which requires significantly more in depth analysis and review than can/should be provided in a free Q&A forum such as this. I would strongly advise you seek counsel from an estate attorney.
They claim I could be liable for back payroll taxes even though I have a pass-through LLC. Is their claim correct? My position is that only the company I broker with is liable.
The law related to independent contractor vs. employee has tightened up and many employers are prudently going completely away from using independent contractors. If that is what the employer wants, your choice is to go with it or not work with them.
Having a pass through LLC is only one... Read more »
You hire an attorney to file a quiet title action (court case) for you. This state of affairs usually is the result of having failed to hire an attorney when you acquired your interest. That would have been cheap. The quiet title action is going to be way more expensive. Preventing problems is... Read more »
My contract states I will be provided a free health plan or stipend towards another plan. The newly formed company is not providing this and rates have gone up to over 2K a year. Does my new employer have to honor my contract if they are not firing me or providing a new contract for me to sign?... Read more »
Your post is not entirely clear about your relationship with this company, nor does the post have additional information needed to provide a clear, reliable answer. Assuming you are an employee, and not an independent contractor, when your employer sells to another company, such that you are now... Read more »
How can I understand what these two forms are for and what I do with them? I don't want to ask the person that send them to me bcuz they'll know I have NO CLUE what I'm doing or what I'm getting into. I want to buy shares anyways and hopefully learn as I go without loosing out right away. Any help... Read more »
The first step is to set up the initial free consultation via video call with reviewing the documents on screen. You will want to "interview" at least three business attorneys who have both business ownership experience and expertise in such matters. Shawn Jackson - Business Development Attorney
sure sounds like prostitution. but understand your argument.
i would not post things like this on a public forum as it is discoverable by the DA......thus suggesting you knew you were going to break the law.
Lawyers do not ever try to advise strangers asking legal questions for other strangers. Get your father-in-law to come here and ask.
Trying to form a corporation in CA with a medical director owning majority shadows but not working, a PA doing all fillers and Botox and the goal is to allow the esthetician to profit share or share hold to ensure equality. She is bringing in the majority of patients (over 300) and if we expand and... Read more »
You need to speak to a lawyer in person about this, because this can't be addressed in a simple Q&A format. The big problem here is that there are rules that govern doctors and how they can form medical partnerships. There may be a way of accomplishing your objectives, but it may need to take a...

The light fixture just fell from an apartment that we just rent. Luckily, no one got injured. But, we, as college students, still felt that this incident was very dangerous. However, the leasing office response was "everything could happen." The argue point was that we signed the contract only two... Read more »
First take pictures and videos. Second, write a letter to LL and explain all that happened and ask manager to fix the problems. Best of luck.
This is only a basic question & answer board. That's probably why the post remained open for three weeks. If you are still seeking an attorney, it might be quicker to simply approach attorneys on the site (under Find a Lawyer), conduct an independent search on your own, or look into the resources...

We submitted billing for a partial contract amount, waited for two months only to find out that the general contractor is requireing us to submit a materials/ labor breakdown. This was not stated in the initial signed contract and in my opinion is a breach of what I consider to be trade secrets.
Normally if you have a fixed price contract, the other party cannot ask to see your labor and material costs.
The contract you have might require this, or require a list of your subcontractors, so please review your contract in detail or have legal counsel do so.
CA-based nonprofit (MCEP) has not paid me $9000.00 for off-contract work, authrozied by CA-based MCEP (not Mexico-based IPAM), via PoA. Can I file suit to collect in CA, rather than Mexico? Looks like I cannot file in small claims court, because of my LLC, but in LA County Superior Court. But... Read more »
California courts will generally enforce forum selection clauses if the contract has a reasonable connection to the forum. The bigger problem here that California doesn't have any power to enforce a judgment (jurisdiction) over a Mexican state agency.
I've sent it to them 8 times. They keep telling me they have never received it, as a result, the amount keeps going up. Is there anything I can do about this as it has been going on for over a year now.
If you are sending it to them by mail, you may want to consider sending it by certified mail. Then you will get a receipt sent back to you showing that it has been delivered.

Good idea. This is not the place to ask an attorney to work for you. You need to reach out to attorneys who do that kind of work to find one you wish to work with. I would suggest you look either on this site, or go to www.cela.org, the home page for the California Employment Lawyers... Read more »
The company's name is Welk's resort.
I'm sorry that you're in this position. From what you've stated, it sounds like the timeshare company has breached some of their obligations under the contract. I would definitely recommend speaking with an attorney familiar with timeshares. If you and your attorney need any information, please... Read more »

I see this pattern a lot in my business. Here is some advice to protect you. write a contract for a nominal rent. Have the landlady agree that you will charge market fees and that she will pay for all supplies.
Each month tally your work and then deduct the nominal rent. If there is a... Read more »
My roommate for the past 3.5 months has been harassing me, and refuses to release me from the lease. She stands outside my room when I am home, pushes my door open, enters my room without permission when I am away ( I have footage), tells me I can no longer use her furniture (couch, table, trash...

Yes, your roommate (co-signer on the lease) could sue you for breaching your obligations under the lease. You would have a defense that your co-signer made it impossible for you to stay. You might win. Whoever wins may recover attorney's fees. It would be in everyone's best interest to make a... Read more »
I received a call right before I was going to work letting me know that my final check I’ll arrive in the mail and when I was looking at the pay they only put hours worked and not my commission earned. Commission earned was written in the employee start manual
First, you should have been provided with your final check on the day you were terminated. A willful failure to pay that final check on time will give you a right to waiting time penalties equal to one day of pay for each day you are made to wait for your final check.
Second, a review of... Read more »

This is quite evidently a highly fact-specific situation, which is not suitable for this forum, which is for questions of a general information.
