All of us partners live abroad, not in the US and none of us has green card or citizenship. What do we need to register and start the business and what tax policies are we facing in WA state as non residents?
Thanks for any help!
There are a few business visas you may qualify for. It sounds like investor visa's may be the avenue best suited for you.

I am a COVID bride and was originally going to get married on May 15 at our venue. Our venue refused to refund us, despite there being emergency proclamations. We agreed over email to reschedule to next year at the venue (but we got hitched in a small ceremony on our original date at home). Now,... Read more »
A Washington attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. It could depend on the terms of the contract, and whether it contains restrictions on assignability. In terms of textbook law, what you describe is considered an assignment of a contract. You want someone else... Read more »
I received a termination email saying I executed confidentiality and invention assignment agreement from amazon.
What does this even mean? All I do is work and come home so I'm not this makes sense to me
Termination Email sounds like termination from employment from Amazon. If you work or worked for Amazon then their terms of employment likely required you to retain in confidence and to assign any inventions you created to Amazon.

I’m leaving my current company who relocated me to Seattle. Like many of my coworkers we signed a contract for relocation money. Some people have quit or been terminated and haven’t been pursued for the money but they are coming after me. Can the company pick and choose who they go after?
Generally speaking, yes they can. You may want to consider reaching out to an employment law attorney in your state for a consultation.

Looks like you have to open an estate. If the decedent died because of his injuries there is a claim and you would want to speak with a member of the State of Washington Assn for Justice in the county where it happened--they give free consults.

I suggest you see if a law librarian at one of DC's law libraries can help you. There isn't enough information there to figure out if it is a case that is being reported or what.

You might have grounds for suing your step mother for breach of contract. It sounds like there was an agreement and it was supported by consideration. The fact that there are witnesses to her promise is very helpful. Seek out a contract litigation attorney in your area.
We agreed on $3000 for up to 4 evictions. He ended up doing just one, but now wants $8000 more.
Don't know about Washington state law but in Florida--and in every other state I am aware of--unless the written representation agreement says that the retainer fee is to be applied to the hourly rate charges--the retainer fee is not connected with the terms regarding hourly rates.

I became aware of the fact that I cannot register this car in my state due to emission laws. I have repeatedly asked the dealer if it would pass in my state and received vague answers. I want to unwind the deal. Again, the dealer still has the car:(
You are wasting your breath asking the dealer if the used car complies with Washington laws because the dealer is in a different state. Try asking the authorities in Washington.
Years and she keeps telling me the next time she has a litter she will give me one . Now she decided to import two new puppies and no longer has the one I sent back to her to replace.

If you ever want to get a new puppy you will probably have to sue the breeder for breach of contract.
Company would tell us they’re coming, but doesn’t show up and doesn’t inform us why they didn’t show. I would call, text and email but doesn’t response till a day or so.
Since this takes place in Washington, an attorney licensed there would really be the one to meaningfully advise you as to all available options. But your question remains open for four weeks, so as a general matter in any jurisdiction, options could include seeking a new contractor, reaching an... Read more »
haah thanks to a wonderful lawyer on here, I found out it was on me. Same name different person
Maybe it is because I am a lawyer, but I do not think it that unusual for a very large credit services corporation in business since 1970 to have "had 44 lawsuits in the last 10 years." But I certainly do find it unusual that you just found out about a judgment entered against you some 16... Read more »
No. If you are offered a contract that includes a term requiring arbitration in case of any disputes you can either agree to arbitrate disputes--and sign it--or disagree and not sign it.
Spouse and I sold a business to a lawyer and his friend. They retained us as independent contractors, and told us we could re-integrate as owners, and, have profit sharing.

I am guessing that you and your spouse did not have a lawyer to advise you when selling your small business to a lawyer and his friend; am I right? If so, then take the money you saved by not hiring a lawyer when you should have, add several more thousands of dollars to it and then go hire a lawyer... Read more »
Hello,
Our 6-month lease ends May 31st, we notified our landlord, on May 2nd, that we would be out by the 31st (end of lease).
He claimes that we did not give him enough time to find a new tenant so we have to stay and pay for the month of June.
Is this correct?
Your written lease controls the answer to your question. If the written lease you signed says you have to give the landlord a longer notice than the customary 30 days, then whatever the lease says answers this question.
