Bankruptcy Law

People considering bankruptcy usually want to know how much it costs. The cost of bankruptcy may seem high, especially when money is tight. You should be aware of attorney’s fee, filing fees, and the cost of filing with an attorney versus on your own. You should also draw comparisons in the expected total bankruptcy cost.

Attorneys at SBEMP (Slovak, Baron, Empey, Murphy & Pinkney) law firm provides professional legal advice and services to clients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, Inland Empire, Orange County, Coachella Valley, Costa Mesa, San Diego, New Jersey, New York, and surrounding locations.

Required Courses and Filing Fees

Bankruptcy filers are required to pay a filing fee. The fee for Chapter 7 case is $335. It is $310 for a Chapter 13 case. The Bankruptcy Trustee may charge a fee as well, somewhere between $15 – 20.

There is no additional fee if you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, but later want it converted to Chapter 13. However, if you want to convert to Chapter 7 bankruptcy after filing for Chapter 13, you would need to pay a conversion fee amounting to $25.

You will also be required to take personal financial management course and obtain credit counseling aside from the filing fee. This can cost between $20 and $100.

Is A Highly Rated Bankruptcy Attorney Worth It?

You can file for bankruptcy without an attorney (pro se). However, the success rate of these filings is not good. For instance, in 2014 almost twice the number of pro se Chapter 7 cases were dismissed as compared to attorney represented cases in Los Angeles. The success rate of Chapter 7 bankruptcy filings is over 95% with an attorney.

Pro se filers have a worse track record for Chapter 13 cases. In Los Angeles area, attorney represented cases had a success rate of 55% for Chapter 13 cases. This is when pro se cases reported a success rate of only 0.04% (1 in 2,500 cases).

Less than 50% chapters filed pro se were discharged in 2014 while more than 82% attorney represented cases received a discharge. Most people choose to file pro se because they think they can’t afford an attorney or don’t require one. However, the above-mentioned statistics show that it is completely worth hiring a highly rated bankruptcy attorney for protecting your rights.

Attorney Fee for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

You would generally be required to pay the attorney an up-front fee when filing bankruptcy under Chapter 7. The average attorney fee varies significantly depending on the lawyer you choose. You may need to pay more in a large metro city as compared to a small town. The complexity of your case, location and the quality of attorney you hire will all have an impact on the overall fee.

You would need to pay less for a straightforward “no asset” case. This is when you don’t have any assets that can be exempted. Complex cases generally result in litigation. The cost of the bankruptcy will also depend on the attorney’s professional reputation and experience level.

Legal rights and freedoms relating to reproduction and reproductive health

Reproductive rights involve an individual’s legal ability for making decisions about when and whether to have children. This is also known as reproductive autonomy. According to this right, everyone has the power of law to make choices regarding pregnancy and birth control.

Access to legal and safe abortion procedures for terminating a pregnancy is one such reproductive right. Reproductive rights allow access to:

Family planning
Sex education
Birth control, including emergency contraception
Assisted reproduction
Sex education, birth control, or abortion for minors without a guardian’s or parent’s consent
Permanent birth control or sterilization
- Men: Vasectomy (involves closing tubes that carry sperm to the penis from testicles)
- Women: Tubal ligation (involves closing of fallopian tubes to prevent eggs from mating with the sperm)

Importance of Reproductive Rights

Reproductive rights are important because they provide access to safe reproductive health care. You may not be allowed to make decisions regarding birth control and pregnancy if these rights are restricted. This may lead to:

Unwanted pregnancy, usually following incest or rape
Complications in pregnancy that result in the death of mother
HIV

Advocates of reproductive rights usually focus on the passage of laws that enable equal access to healthcare services in these areas to people of all races, genders, religious beliefs, ethnicities, legal status, and income levels. This includes undocumented immigrants and individuals that are in prisons.

Gender Neutral

Reproductive rights apply to people of all genders and not just women. An estimated quarter of the male population becomes sexually active by the age of 15. They are at a risk of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), such as chlamydia or gonorrhea which may make them unable to father children at a later stage. They may also not be in favor of unplanned pregnancies.

Reproductive rights in men include access to services, such as:

Family planning
Birth control counseling
Infertility treatments and counseling
STD testing, treatment, and prevention

Age for Reproductive Rights

Age is often thought to be a factor in establishing reproductive rights. US federal law, in 1977, gave minors the right to obtain birth control without consent from parent. A few states allow minors between the age group of 12 and 17, equal access to prenatal care, pregnancy testing, and STD tests without parental consent.

However, other states may only allow minors that are already married, pregnant, or with children the ability to access these services. Males can enter sexual relationships or become sexually active before they turn 18. They require access to counseling and condoms to prevent STIs and pregnancy.

Access to Professional Care

There are gruesome reports of women that were forced to undergo sterilization or tubal litigation surgery in prison. These surgical procedures were not medically necessary. Socioeconomic levels and race of a woman can affect her access to reproductive rights. Certain studies show that doctors offer different birth control options based on the insurance coverage and race of women.

Personal Injury Law

Personal injury plaintiffs bring forth lawsuits that play on the defendant’s negligence. The plaintiff in most cases is required to prove negligence through a preponderance of evidence. They need to prove the defendant’s duty, breach of duty, damages, and actual or proximate cause.

The elements of negligence can differ based on the given situation that caused the negligence in the first place. The value of the case is determined by whether the personal injury arose out of products defect, premises liability, car accident, medical malpractice, and nature and severity of injuries among other factors.

Different types of injuries can give rise to a personal injury lawsuit, such as:

Broken/fractured bones
Brain injury
Catastrophic injury
Burn injury
Electrocution
Drowning
Fire or burn injury
Loss of limb
Spinal cord or back injury
Paralysis
Disfigurement or scarring

Extent of Injuries and Recovery of Damages

The plaintiff’s testimony is generally presented by the plaintiff’s attorney. The testimony of experts and treating doctor are presented in the same way. This is done to discuss the severity and nature of the plaintiff’s injuries. Often, the full extent of compensation awarded for personal injury is not limited to the past and future medical bills associated with the injuries.

For instance, a patient suffering paralysis in a trucking accident may move to sue the trucking company and the truck driver. The victim, during trial, will testify to the loss of enjoyment of life and pain and suffering. They may also present a treating physician for testifying to the cause of paralysis, objective finding, and the extent to which the paralysis limits their lives.

The plaintiff may need to present testimony from an expert from the field of vocational rehabilitation for showing that they won’t be able to perform household services and tasks related to their work. Experts will quantify future losses by presenting the required evidence.

Arguments Used by Defendants

Defense attorney will counter the extent and severity of damages claimed by the plaintiff by minimizing the injuries suffered. Generally, defense attacks the credibility of the plaintiff as well as the events giving rise to the injuries. They also attack the extent by which the plaintiff is limited by the injuries.

Insurance companies retain investigators to look into suspicious injuries and claims. Evidence from surveillance for discrediting plaintiffs is admissible as long as it is taken from public and online spaces where reasonable expectation of privacy is not present.

Most plaintiffs make the common error in judgment to post status updates and pictures on social media, such as Facebook. For instance, a plaintiff claiming back injury because of a motorcycle accident may expose themselves to the risk of being discredited about the extent and severity of the injury in front of a jury by posting status updates about hiking or extreme sports.

Products Liability Law

Product liability lawsuits refer to lawsuits brought by consumers against anyone participating in the chain of manufacturing. This includes the manufacturer of components and the manufacturer responsible for assembling the complete item. In certain cases, it also includes the retail storeowner.

The lawsuits are often concerned with the following:

Manufacturing defect
Design defect
Breach of warranty
Failure to warn
Mesothelioma and asbestos
Product recalls

Defective products that cause harm to consumers or people to whom the product was given can file these lawsuits. An injured person can file a product liability lawsuit whenever their product is unreasonably dangerous or has a defect that causes injury.

Types of Defective Products

Product liability lawsuits can occur because of three types of defects – design defects, marketing defects, and manufacturing defects. Marketing defects are also known as failures to warn. Manufacturing defects are the most straightforward lawsuits of all three.

Manufacturing defects are said to occur because of a production or construction flaw. The defect takes places in one or a few products in a certain line, rather than the entire range. The injury causing product is different from others.

Design defects are different to manufacturing defects. They are inherent on the entire line of the product. This means that every product of that type will be defective or dangerous to use in case of design defect. This is possible even though the product was manufactured expressly as per manufacturer and designer specifications.

Marketing defects relate to inadequate or inappropriate instructions in properly using the products or a failure to warn of the product’s dangers.

Types of Product Liability Lawsuits

Product liability lawsuits can be brought forward on the basis of strict liability, negligence, breach of warranty, and misrepresentation. In some states, they are also brought in pursuit to a state statute.

Strict liability lawsuits are based on the manufacturer’s responsibility to sell products that are fit for use. These can be brought forth even if the manufacturer exercised reasonable care. The injured plaintiff is only responsible for proving that the product was defect, which resulted in their injury. Generally, both sides need to retain experts for offering opinions about the defective product issue.

Negligence theory becomes appropriate in case where a manufacturer did not exercise reasonable care. It is often a concern in design defect cases when the manufacturer doesn’t account for the risk of harm and probable use of a particular product.

It is assumed by the law that certain warranties (implied or express) will be given by the manufacturer that the goods they distribute, make or sell is of a certain quality and fit for use. A product that causes harm may breach the express or implied warranty. Misrepresentation applies when the promotion or advertising of a product gives consumers a false sense of security.

Car Accident Law

Car accidents are common types of vehicular crashes resulting in varying degrees of injury. Most collisions involve two cars. However, a large percentage of fatalities may involve pedestrians and motorcyclists. The family of the decedent is allowed to bring forth a wrongful death suit if the accident is caused primarily by anyone other than the decedent.

Car Crash Causes

Car crash can be caused by the following:

Drunk and impaired driving
Distracted driving
Hit and run accidents
Head-on collisions
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist
Side impact accidents
Failure to yield accidents
Mechanical malfunctions
Side impact accidents
Defective car parts
Rollover accidents
Chain Reaction / Multi-Vehicle Accidents
Elderly Related Car Accidents
Teen Driver Car Accidents
Aggressive Driving Accidents

Damage Recovery in Accidents Caused by Multiple Defendants

Negligence leading to a car crash is often divided among several entities or people. Experienced attorneys of the plaintiff will investigate all possible causes to bring in potentially responsible parties. This will allow the plaintiff a good chance to recover damages.

Victims should know that they only get one opportunity for obtaining compensation for their injuries. The plaintiff will lose the opportunity for bringing a suit against all responsible parties if they hasten to bring a suit and miss out on other responsible parties.

Fault will be apportioned by the jury among all parties liable for the injury. Often, the defendants use the defense that the plaintiff was also partially liable for the accident. In such cases, the jury will evaluate the culpability of the plaintiff as well. The plaintiff can stand to recover all of their damages if they had zero contribution to the accident.

Joint and Several Liability

The doctrine of joint and several liability is followed by many states. Multiple defendants can be made liable severally and jointly if their concurrent acts bring injury to a victim.

The doctrine allows plaintiffs to recover complete value of a judgment from any party they think are at fault. This is true even if that particular party has a lesser share of fault when compared to others. That party can then move to seek contribution from the other parties that were found to be at fault.

For instance, if a drunk motorist, fatigued driver, the city government, road construction company, and auto manufacturer are found to be multiple negligent parties, the plaintiff can collect full compensation from one the parties (like the construction company) in some states. The construction company will move to demand compensation from other at-fault parties.

The goal of this type of liability is to account for the possibility that some defendants may be judgment-proof by shifting the risk to the remaining at-fault parties. However, certain states don’t allow this and only permit the plaintiff to recover damages in percentage of fault.

Resolving Business Issues

Disputes can easily arise within a business or between different businesses. The subject of dispute can be any of the numerous complex affairs plaguing the operations of a business.

Common Business Disputes

Breach of contract is quite likely the most common dispute. This is because contracts are integral to every aspect of running a business. This includes contracts among partners or co-founders, with suppliers, with employees, with contractors and service providers, and lastly clients and customers. Claims of breach of contract can be a part of most of these business relationships, if not all.

There can be situations that can result in a conflict among partners. These conflicts include:

A partner stopped contributing
Partner not performing as per expectations
Partners not agreeing on fair division of assets
Partners disagreeing over profit division
Partners defrauding the other
Misappropriation of assets and funds

Business disputes can be the result of a business involved in the purchase and sale of products, offering warranty, and breaching the said warranty. Several businesses deal in conflict. For instance, collection agencies try to collect the money they owe by pursuing debtors. These businesses need to be well-informed about the rules and regulations surrounding debt collection.

Resolving Business Disputes

Companies may not want to file lawsuits as the first step following a dispute. However, they should still consult with a knowledgeable business lawyer. The goal is to attain clarity about where the company legally stands in the dispute and the options available to the company. Also, the company may want to identify the results it seeks from the resolution of the dispute.

The first approach should always be to seek dispute resolution procedures. Negotiation that results in resolution is the least expensive and quickest solution to resolving a problem. Mediation, a slightly more formal approach to negotiation, may produce results, if negotiations are unsuccessful. A neutral third party is involved in mediations to resolve the conflict and reach a consensus.

If mutually satisfactory result is not reached by mediation and negotiations, both parties should try arbitration. Neutral arbitrator is selected in this process by both parties. It is recommended to consult with an experienced business attorney regarding the choice of arbitrators.

You may not have any other option but to choose litigation if all other informal processes fail and if you are not interested in any further arbitration.

Hiring an Attorney for Business Disputes

Experienced business attorneys can help with business disputes in several ways. They can advise you on your legal standing and can represent you during negotiations. They can also apprise you of all your legal options and help you identify the one most likely to lead to a favorable resolution. Business attorneys offer invaluable advice during disputes.

Writing Contracts

You will need to engage in negotiating, drafting, and signing business contracts if you launch a new business. Business contracts help in confidentiality, compliance, and cooperation between different parties. You would need to make use of these contracts regularly as a business manager or owner.

Poorly written or worded contracts don’t tend to serve the intended purpose. You could end up exposing your business to liability. Seek legal help from a capable business law form if you are in need of a business contract.

Types of Legal Contracts

Legal contracts or business contracts are written agreements that legally bind two or more parties transacting together. These are enforceable in civil court of law as long as specific contract laws are followed. The contracts used will differ as per the country, state, industry, and transaction type. Certain contracts are more in use than others.

These are a few types of business contracts:

Service contract
Employment contract
Commercial lease
Sale contract
Business partnership agreements
Joint venture agreements

There is no end when it comes to business contracts in vogue today. Regular use of digital contract transmittal and signing is supported by various industries. However, it’s vital that the contracts are digitally signed in a method compliant with eSignature laws.

Components of a Business Contract

Every document has certain common provisions, but legal philosophies and overarching principles design them. In essence, a business contract states that something of value was traded with all parties agreeing to the terms.

These are a few key parts of a business contract:

Mutual consideration
Offer
Acceptance
Competency
Transaction details

It is important to note that a business contract is only as good as the language contained within in. You are bound to experience legal issues if the contract doesn’t have the critical parts mentioned above. It is possible for the other party to raise a dispute as well. This makes it necessary to incorporate standard clauses and essential parts.

Common Business Contract Clauses

Business contracts differ in terms depending on the size, transaction, payment terms and other elements. You can manage and organize the terms by breaking down the business contract into common clauses. This strategy will help ensure that the arrangements are clear and that information can be located immediately.

These are a few common clauses in business contracts:

Choice of law clause
Confidentiality clause
Arbitration clause
Definitions clause
Indemnification clause
Severability clause
Warranties

Well-drafted business contracts uphold the enforceability and legality of provisions. Business contracts and small business law go hand-in-hand. You should start with a clarity of purpose while drafting the business contract.

Avoid Using Oral Contracts

Oral contracts are enforceable in several states, but usually give rise to disputes, which turn into legal fights. These can be challenging, time consuming, and costly to prove.

Starting a Business

Majority of people try to start their own business. Unfortunately, succeeding in the marketplace is not that easy. Companies led by amateurs that are unfamiliar with the legalities are more susceptible to failure. Many business owners don’t cover their legal bases by carrying out adequate research and jump into the competitive marketplace.

You should not start a business without thoroughly preparing yourself first. These are a few key legal requirements for starting a business. This short guide also speaks about the costs associated with allowing these concerns to fall by the side.

Protecting Personal Assets

An important thing to consider while starting a business is to protect your personal assets. You should consider forming an LLC to protect your personal financial security and to prevent a lawsuit from being the end of your business.

Limited liability companies limit the extent to which a business owner can be held liable for damages incurred by their customers. A customer that sues the company for receiving inadequate service or faulty product will not be able to seek compensation from your personal bank account and finances.

Understanding Publicity Regulations

Forming an LLC and similar legal entities may incur additional hurdles depending on the area where you live or intend to launch your business. You may need to publicize news in certain cities and states that you have formed a company. You may need to post a statement in the local newspaper. You could incur stiff fine or the state may deny to recognize the status of your business if you fail to do this.

New York, Nebraska, and Arizona among other states have newspaper publication requirements. You should pay special attention to the rules if you belong to these states.

Insuring Workers

Business owners, in most states, especially when they have more than five employees, need to insure their workers. This is a legal requirement. For instance, offering workers’ compensation insurance to employees injured on the job and not able to provide for themselves is required in most states. Amateur business owners foolishly attempt to cut down the costs by mitigating insurance rates. This can easily backfire in the long run and cost you considerably.

Don’t Violate Trademark

Copyright and trademark violations are not something you should shrug off. You should take out the time to ensure that the name you have chosen is not already trademarked. You could end up with a cease-and-desist order if you start a new business and begin advertising under a name that has already been taken.

In some cases, you may even receive a subpoena in the mail. It is recommended to register the business name with the office of US Patent and Trademark. This way you can have peace of mind.

Business Lawyer

Business lawyers are comfortable in performing a number of functions. This can be consulting with business owners, reviewing a contract, litigating in court, or negotiating a complex deal. These are just a few situations business owners find themselves in. Great business attorneys are knowledgeable and flexible problem solvers, always looking out for their clients.

Functions of a Business Lawyer

Business attorneys, to put it simply, help businesses solve their problems. They help business owners understand the problem. They also help the owners identify problems they may face in the future.

Common problems faced by business owners:

Starting a business: It can be difficult to choose between an S Corp, LLC, or some other form of business. A wrong decision in this case can incur incredible costs in the long run.
Drawing contracts: Businesses may not be aware of the type of forms they need when bringing in a new client or hiring employees. Do you know if you need to sign a waiver? What exactly should you mention in the forms? Business lawyers can create contracts for meeting the unique needs of a business.
Breach of contract or disputed contract: What do you do when a client refuses to pay or a contract gets disputed? Can you take any action if an employee is caught sharing secrets? Your business attorney will advocate and negotiate on your behalf. They may even file a lawsuit if required.
Acquisitions and mergers: Are you thinking of being acquired by a company or buying out a competitor? Do you want to join forces with another business? A business lawyer is integral to these decisions.
Resolving business claims and issues: The most well-meaning and prepared business owner can run into trouble regarding sick leave, disability, sexual harassment, discrimination, and workplace safety. Business lawyers educate clients on best practices and applicable laws.
Risk management and compliance: Experienced business lawyers can help new and established businesses on compliance issues by developing a system for monitoring and minimizing risk
Property and real estate disputes: You may need the assistance of a business lawyer whether your business owns or leases a property. Business lawyers can negotiate leases and sales by navigating confusing and complex real estate laws.

Business Lawyers and Litigation

Business lawyers go to court when it is absolutely necessary. This is not because they are not expert litigators, but because they often think of a better solution to help save their clients time and money.

Consulting with a Business Lawyer

This should be done sooner than later since even the simplest, most trivial, and honest mistakes can cost business owners dearly. Quick consultations with business owners can usually prevent these problems. A business owner’s time is better spent running the business than trying to resolve legal disputes.
