I was introduced to an attorney on or about 2011. Ever since he has done couple minor cases for me before I asked to form and draft contracts for some of my business. We later became very close friend and he brought many investments deals to the table for me. I put out the capital and he does legal work. About 2015, I offered to him a percentage of my company for a small cost and of course he formed and drafted all my Corp paperwork. In 2017, business troubles arise and some disagreements began. He immediately ousted me and locked me out of all my business. Claiming I have no legal rights to any of my businesses because he alone is in all the business Corp documents. Now I’m stuck with hiring new attorney to regain my businesses and prove I’m the majority shareholders. Please help with any legal advice or directions. Is this ground enough to report him o the State Bar? Thank you in advance!🙏🏻
