Question 1

Can I terminate or amend a contract?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the information included in the contract. Our team will review the clauses in the contract specific to your situation and determine if you can end it or change it. Failure to follow the procedures for changes or terminating as laid out in the contract can result in a breach of contract. Our team was recognized by Martindale-Hubbell with an AV rating due to our thorough review of cases and contracts to ensure that you are in compliance with all rules, regulations, and clauses.

Question 2

How are trust assets identified and distributed to beneficiaries?

Accepted Answer

A trustee is appointed to oversee the trust and the distribution of assets once you have passed. This is a person you pick and appoint. It can be someone you know, or our team with nearly 75+ years of combined experience can help you determine who this should be. Your assets must be verified and valued with appraisals and financial statements as they are added to the trust. The trustee must then inventory assets after your passing, subtract debts, and then distribute your assets per your wishes set forth in your trust.

Question 3

What counts as compensable hours for a pizza delivery driver?

Accepted Answer

Driving time, waiting time, and prep work are normally compensable as are meal breaks, meetings, training, or on-call status. Additionally, all hours worked beyond the typical 40 hour work week are eligible for overtime pay per the Fair Labor Standards Act. Of course, this all depends on what is laid out in your employment contract, which our attorneys will need to review. Our team has helped workers win as much as $61,000 in unpaid wages that they were not aware they should have received.

Question 4

How do you conduct a thorough trademark search?

Accepted Answer

We first begin by searching the USPTO database for identical or similar assets that have already been registered. Our search includes spelling, phonetics, word order, and more to thoroughly check for any issues that may arise. Our firm which was established in 1999 will evaluate your materials for both identical trademarks already registered and similar ones to determine if confusion may arise between brands. We check many common sources as part of our risk assessment process.

Question 5

What is the purpose of a prenuptial agreement?

Accepted Answer

A prenuptial agreement is generally put together before marrying another person. This agreement defines how assets, debt, and income will be handled should you get divorced later on. While some may worry that this is setting up a marriage for failure, it is actually a smart way to protect your assets so that if you encounter stressful times you are not worried about losing what is rightfully yours. These agreements can also help if your partner passes away so that the handling of assets and finances is clearly spelled out, as our team knows well since we have been in the Sunshine State for over 30 years.
