Can a state take personal assets if our company owes taxes? How?

Answered 10 years and 8 months ago by Ronald A. Steinberg (Unclaimed Profile)   |   13 Answers
Was your company a corporation? I think you need to talk to your corporate lawyer or your tax advisor. If I am an employee of a company, not an officer or director, the company's debts, including taxes, are not mine. But if I am running a company like it is my own toy, and am using company assets to buy personal stuff, then the personal stuff is really owned by the company, and therefore is an asset of the company, and can be attached to pay debts....

My license was suspended indefinitely due to my having sleep apnea, what can I do?

Answered 11 years and 3 months ago by Scott A. Brenneck (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
Quite often when the DMV suspends a person's driver's license for a medical reason they require a medical review within a certain period of time. Usually the DMV will send you a letter explaining your options. I suggest that you check with the DMV regarding a conditional driver's license (which would let you drive to work) as well as the specific requirements that you need to meet to have your license reinstated. Please feel free to call my office directly so that we can discuss your situation.... Read More

What can I do if I consulted an attorney and then he went to the opposing counsel and divulged the entire conversation?

Answered 11 years and 7 months ago by Andrew Tyler Velonis (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
Since you consulted him to get his advice, with the prospect of retaining him, in my opinion he was obligated to protect your confidences. File a complaint with the local grievance committee. Be forewarned, however, he will come up with all sorts of excuses and obfuscations to avoid censure: you weren't his client, there were no grounds for confidentiality, he didn't say anything damaging, opposing counsel would have found out everything anyway, you would have been obligated to disclose this information, etc. Then you have to prove that what you say is actually what happened...
