However, this will probably exceed the time and work that most attorneys will offer in a free consultation. So you should expect to pay for about an... View More

The question as posed omits much important information. This includes whether or not there was a written agreement, whether or not one party is a licensed professional, whether or not the agreement was negotiated in NJ, and other issues that may become relevant.

It would be a better practice if you retained the services of an attorney. If you were to be successful in your counterclaim for consumer fraud violation, you will awarded attorney's fees.

There is a lot that goes into asking and answering this question. The legal aspects are probably secondary to business planning. Before you need an attorney you need to have a clear idea, a business plan, sufficient funding, and the right personal environment to launch a business.

Trying to represent yourself in a divorce or post-divorce matter is unwise since you are emotionally involved and not a trained attorney. There has to be a valid reason for reopening a divorce. This is going to be an expensive case and a hard burden to meet. People want to litigate very often,... View More

answered on Jul 29, 2022
Closing down your business will not help you. Unless you have a 3 member LLC, the person suing you will be able to pierce the corporate veil and go after you personally. You need to retain an experienced civil litigation attorney. With modern technology, you can be represented by any high-quality... View More

There are far too many variables and unknown facts to provide you with a meaningful answer. You best way of proceeding is speaking with an experienced business and/or probate attorney. With the current economic environment, the IRS is not an agency you want to take any chances with. Good luck.

Unless your LLC is a properly custom drafted LLC with 3 members, it is easy to pierce the corporate veil and you are going to be liable. It is cheaper to just pay the ticket, you are not going to avoid liability, due to several reasons.

The answer depends on the facts of your case thus I suggest you speak with a lawyer, but generally you will be looking at the civil litigation statute of limitations for Superior Court cases, assuming you meet the standards of being in Superior Court of NJ.
