Collections
The lifeblood of any business is the ability to get paid for the products and services it provides. When a business provides products or services, and customers fail to pay, the whole operation of the business may fall into jeopardy. I have years of experience in collecting fees for services from customers who failed to pay. Many times the customer will respond simply to a demand letter, while other times a lawsuit must be filed. In addition, I can help you set up your sales forms and contracts so that there is no question of their enforcement if that becomes necessary. Let me help you keep your business running smoothly and get paid for your hard work. Contact Jennifer A. Coke, of The Coke Law Firm, experienced collections attorney.
Business Formation
The choice of entity is a confusing and detailed process for any new business owner. The benefits of using an LLC versus a corporation, whether or not to elect subchapter S status, and how all that will affect your taxes and filing requirements are all important factors to take into consideration. Jennifer A. Coke of The Coke Law Firm can assist you with all of your business formation needs, including all necessary operating agreements, bylaws, and articles.
Employment Issues for Businesses
All business owners with employees need to have in place proper guidelines, rules and procedures for dealing with those employees. Drug policies, Family Medical Leave Act policies, and employee handbooks are just a few of the basic documents that any business needs for its smooth operation. In addition, even with these documents in place, determining exactly how to proceed in any employment situation can be challenging. Contact me for assistance with all of your employment issues.
Consumer Protection
Sometimes businesses and collection agencies get overzealous in their collection efforts and treat customers in an unfair and often times illegal manner. There are specific rules that a business or collection agency must follow in collecting a delinquent debt and reporting that debt to the credit bureaus. Additionally, certain unethical businesses exist that have as their goal to take advantage of the consumer. If you have been wronged by a business, treated unfairly or illegally, contact me for assistance.
