Biography

"Shawn provided critical advice on the operating agreement for my new business. Three things stood out; 1. Balance of legal and business advice. His experience on the business side sets him apart from my attorneys. 2. Responsiveness. He reviewed the fast-changing revisions quickly. 3. His video conferencing meetings are as convenient as a phone call with the added communication elements of an office meeting. If you want a skilled attorney and business advisor to help you get started, call Shawn Jackson." K.S.

“We hired Shawn Jackson to represent us in the purchase of a corporation. His professionalism, knowledge, and ethics was greatly appreciated it. He was timely in his responses (even working on weekends and holidays), always taking into consideration our thoughts and opinions. He was patient in explaining the law with regards to our engagement and also had an uncanny ability to explain the process when it became difficult. His prices were very reasonable, and his invoices were detailed, so we always understood what we were paying for. We would recommend him for any business legal needs.” P.E.

“I found Shawn through Yelp. It was one of the best decisions I made as a business owner. I consulted with Shawn from the beginning of my business all the way up to selling my business. He was there to help me with any situation and always provided me with a prompt response. He has a down to earth personality and always provided very well thought out responses to my questions. It wasn't until it came to sell my business where I saw Shawn's skill of dealing with the buyers and his ability to obtain the best deal for his clients. At some points I felt that Shawn was my business partner, not an attorney. He was able to successfully help me sell my business with the terms that I wanted. I never actually met Shawn in person, all of my interactions with him were through the phone.

“I am thoroughly impressed with Shawn Jackson"

Legal Answers
Q. When you do a dba to your incorporated business does it automatically become incorporated also?
A: The short answer to your "automatically become incorporated" is "no". The longer answer is a combination of ownership, your management agreement, your written agreement with homeowners for your "Home Improvement Contracts" ... and the CSLB issues ... you will want to schedule a free initial video call to discuss the matter furhter.
Q. What happens if you are 50% owner of a corporation and have no written agreement and one partner wants out
A: As you might imagine, a few initial questions for you: [1] is there a signed shareholder's agreement for the corporation ... [2] what are the written documents that support the "50%" ownership and how does that ownership reflect the 80k - 30 k split ... and [3] do you have a signed Organizational Meeting Minutes document? This information will help move the resolution process forward ... thank you.
Q. If I am a minor member/owner in a LLC can I sign legally binding contracts.
A: The short answer is ... "it depends" ... you would need AUTHORITY from the LLC, usually within the LLC Operating Agreement and/or approved resolutions ... along with NOTICE to the other LLC members and the other contracting parties.
