Is she allowed to do this while we both own the bar? She did it for personal reasons. A bad break up.

answered on Dec 20, 2024
No, unless you had an agreement providing she has exclusive rights to do whatever she did. In any event, if you are getting a business divorce, consult a lawyer who handles business formation and dissolution issues.

Yes, you generally need a real estate license from FREC to manage other peoples property and make a commission. There are a few exceptions, I would need more information to see if they apply.
Phone and phone number for all of my business dealings and we got into a fight and she shut off my cell phone service. This is something that I’ve already paid for in advance and can damage my business and will force me to get a new phone number and change everything in relation to my business.... View More

Generally, you can sue anyone for anything; however, that does not mean that it is a wise decision. My best advice is to get a new phone number and/or see if you can transfer the phone number. You need to disengage with someone who can affect your business like this. Speak with a local lawyer for... View More
Me and my wife have a business issue with our partners.
We purchased 25% stack from a company and we work there too, we get 1099 for paychecks, W2 from the company, and dividend in wire transfer.
We get pregnant and now the other partners say we break the contract and they dont... View More

answered on Nov 14, 2024
This does not make sense. Dividends are profit shares disturbed to investors. I can't imagine how pregnancy relates to an investor's entitlement to profit share. You need an attorney to tell them that it is a breach of an investment agreement if they fail to pay you, and there will be... View More

answered on Oct 25, 2024
Yes, in Florida, if you operate your LLC under a name different from its official registered name, you generally need to register a fictitious name. This applies even if the alternate name is only used for marketing, branding, or displayed in your logo. Registering ensures that the public is aware... View More
Pedestrians now must walk in road in traffic path, as even the curb areas are roped off. This is downtown. I called to see how long they anticipate the sidewalk being inaccessible and they told me however long it takes them and to just walk around it (in street with 30 mph speed limit and stuff...

answered on Oct 21, 2024
It's frustrating when sidewalk access is blocked without clear timelines. Typically, businesses need permits from the city to restrict public pathways, and these permits usually have time limits. If the work hasn't started or is taking excessively long, it might violate local regulations.... View More
This is for the business (not the app per se). For example, FINRA licenses, securities licenses, etc. This business would not distribute or take money for securities. Nor would it offer any debt holding like a bank or credit card. It's strictly for a person (user) to look at all their income... View More

I do not believe there is any license needed to create an app. If you intend on creating a business from the app, you will need to register with the Department of State and obtain a tax ID number.
Since the lawsuit has been filed in Florida state court can my former small business employer (over 50 employees but under 100 employees) have my case dismissed if he went out of business and is now doing business under a different LLC and a different owner?

answered on Sep 8, 2024
No, the former employer can't have your case dismissed simply because he is no longer doing business as before.
Not legal right? Which are the laws I can show him that this is not compliance?

answered on Sep 12, 2024
Depending on the intent with which it would be done, it could be ordinary common law fraud - which could involve numerous state statutes, depending on context, industry, and other factors. Good luck

answered on Jul 31, 2024
When buying an LLC, it's important to conduct thorough due diligence to uncover any potential liabilities, including lawsuits and unpaid taxes. Start by reviewing the company's financial records, contracts, and any ongoing or past litigation. It's wise to hire a legal professional to... View More
What would an attorney charge me to aquire lisence/permits for food trailer?

answered on Jul 15, 2024
The costs involved for the required licenses and permits can vary depending on several factors, such as specific local regulations and the type of food services you plan to offer. To provide you with an accurate estimate, we recommend scheduling a consultation with an experienced attorney.

answered on Jun 4, 2024
A Florida attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. If there is a valid basis for a lawsuit, a lawsuit probably could be filed. The big question could be where. In the UK might be a natural guess. However, it would help to know more about the company's operations,... View More
There is also an Injunction against her. She can't come near me, or our home, or our car for five years. She and I are joint owners of the car. I need to sell, or trade it, but the Injunction clearly states that we can have no connection of any kind during the period of the Injunction. So, as... View More

Have you thought of hiring an attorney to talk to her? Also, I do not think while she is not allowed to approach you, you going near her is considered violation.

answered on May 5, 2024
Sure, if you can prove ownership. Examples: proof of purchase, photo of it being in your possession, credible witness testimony.
We pay monthly HOA fees for amenities, which include security via video surveillance. My son is facing criminal charges and the events that occured were caught on these cameras. This footage would prove the allegations are false. I emailed the HOA asking them to save it. No response. I also went... View More

answered on Mar 26, 2024
In situations where evidence crucial for legal defense is destroyed or deleted, especially after a request has been made to preserve it, you might have grounds for a civil case. This would particularly apply if the deletion of the surveillance video directly impacts a legal proceeding, such as... View More

Yes, if you signed a non-compete agreement, your LLC would be precluded from competing with the other party.
I got told the state was gonna sue are company. Jest wondering if They could

answered on Dec 8, 2023
Certainly the state can sue your company. The company should notify its insurance carrier, if it hasn't already.
Delaware law applies in this situation. The promissory note is held personally. This promissory note is from a purchase of a business and the buyer claims that the deal was fraudulent. Can they just stop paying you even though they have not proven that the purchase is fraudulent?

answered on Nov 19, 2023
If Delaware law applies, you must direct your question to Delaware attorneys. You instead directed your question to Florida.
