Looking to sue a customer for non payment

Answered 7 years and 5 months ago by attorney Bruce Robins   |   1 Answer

Is there some reason you think you can't sue this customer in Nevada?  Although I don't know all the facts, if this dispute arises from a transaction where the customer ordered goods from Nevada, it certainly seems that Nevada courts would have jurisdiction over the customer, and it would be much easier  (and probably cheaper) for you to sue in Nevada since someone from your company is going to have to testify at trial, if not in deposition....

I am a landlord. Tonight my case was dismissed due to the fact that I was required to be represented by a lawyer.

An llc is a separate legal entity.  You don't own the property and are not the landlord; rather you own the llc which owns the property and it is the landlord.  As a non-lawyer, you are allowed to act as your own attorney, but not to practice law by representing anyone or anything else, such as the llc.  If you bought 100% of the stock of IBM, it would still be a separate entity, even though you owned it, and would still require a lawyer to represent it.  This is probably the first time anyone picked up on the problem in your eviction cases and raised it with the judge....

If you are concerned about potential liability, you may want to retain an attorney to deal with the other attorney.  You can also always just contact the attorney and ask for clarification as to why he wants to speak with you.  Perhaps a quick telephone call will provide him the information he needs without him having to depose you.   Simon W.
