Q. I am investing in two cannabis farms, one in New Jersey and one in Pennsylvania. We need a lawyer to look over contracts

July 29, 2021

A: Certainly. Many of us have experience in reviewing such contracts, and would be happy to assist in ensuring your interests are protected moving forward. That being the case, I recommend organizing everything in your possession that is relevant to this matter, including the contracts and all correspondence regarding the contracts, and consulting with a lawyer individually. Many of us offer free consultations, and will work with you to ensure you are asking the right questions, minimizing your contractual risks, and maximizing your contractual protections.

Q. What am I legally entitled to in Illinois if I'm rear ended while stopped in traffic?

May 22, 2020

A: Did you suffer from any personal injuries as a result of the collision? If so, it is well advised to contact a personal injury attorney immediately, as you are entitled to additional compensation. The additional compensation for your injuries and other recoverable damages can assist in your concern of depleting your savings, but you will not receive fair compensation unless you are represented by counsel. That being the case, if you were injured, I recommend you organize everything in your possession that is relevant to this matter, including the collision report and medical records/bills, and consult with a personal injury attorney. Many of us offer free consultations, and will represent you in regards to your personal injuries on a contingent basis, so you will not have to pay anything out of pocket to obtain the representation and guidance of an experienced professional who will work with you to ensure your recovery is maximized.

Q. i am selling house, i am only one on title. on selling documents realtor put me and my wife as seller, is it ok

May 14, 2020

A: It depends on the precise documents you are referencing, and your attorney would be in the best position to address your specific questions regarding the transaction. If you are not represented by an attorney, you should absolutely hire one immediately. Many of us represent sellers in residential for a small flat fee ($500+/-). For that flat fee, we will not only be accessible to you throughout the entirety of the transaction to answer questions such as these, we will draft all closing documents, negotiate terms that are favorable to you, and attend the closing itself to ensure you and your family's interests are protected. It truly is in your best interest to hire an attorney ASAP, and since the fee is flat, it makes the most sense to consult immediately. There is simply to much on the line to risk being unrepresented during such an important transaction.
