Business Law

There are many aspects of business law that both owners and manages need to know. Running a business is not as simple as just making sure you meet the needs of customers and pay your employees and taxes. Some of the other aspects of business management for which you may need to engage the services of a law office include the following:

Information concerning new start-ups. Starting a new business goes beyond just buying or leasing a business and opening the doors. Before signing a contract, you should make sure to have one of the law firms in your area review it. You want to ensure the terms are legal and ethical.

If you find yourself in financial trouble, the first thing you need to do is speak to a lawyer experienced in business bankruptcy. While the end result may not be what you want to hear, you will at least have the legal advice you need before making the final decision.

Employment law is essential to know before hiring anyone to work for your company. Most states are work-at-will, but there are also discriminatory things you are not permitted to do. For instance, you cannot terminate or refuse to hire someone if they fall into one of the protected classes: age, race, religion, sex, ethnic origin, and more recently, sexual orientation.

Anyone who owns or manages a business must be aware of the OSHA requirements. A company must adhere to those guidelines or they can be fined, and in the worst case scenario, shut down until the conditions are corrected.

Family Law

Family law involves those items that refer to any type of family issues. These might include divorce, child support, child custody, adoption, alimony/spousal support, and issues involving exes who live in different states. We can provide free legal advice online and help you find the best legal firm to handle your needs.

Criminal Defense Lawyer

If your legal needs fall into the category of a criminal offense, you will need to engage the services of a criminal defense lawyer. It doesn’t always have to involve major crimes such as robbery or murder but can be a DUI (driving under the influence), underage drinking and driving, fraud, or DWI (driving while intoxicated). We offer free consults that are secure and confidential.

Personal Injury Law

One of the areas of law we read about so often is that of personal injury law. There are many different incidents for which an individual may need to research personal injury attorneys online. some of the areas in which a personal injury lawyer has the best expertise to handle your case include:

• Accidents that involve slip and fall, especially in a place of business
• Auto accidents
• Cases of neglect in a nursing home
• Malpractice at a medical facility or by a medical professional
• On the job injuries (workman’s compensation)
• Accidents on construction sites whether by visitors or workers

Sometimes individuals hesitate to bring personal injury claims because they don’t feel they can afford to hire a lawyer. The typical answer tends to be, “I can’t afford any of the law firms near me.” However, in most cases personal injury lawsuits are billed on contingency. This means if you don’t win the case the lawyer doesn’t get paid. It is for this reason a personal injury lawyer will only accept a case he feels he can win.

While these are the most common areas in which Legal Yogi gets requests for legal help, they are not the only ones. There are miscellaneous areas in which visitors to the site might have questions such as prenuptial agreements, wills, estates, civil law (suits by creditors, wage garnishment, property damage, slander/libel), neighborhood disputes, and others. Legal Yogi will refer your legal questions to the most appropriate lawyer in our network based on your individual legal question.
