Irving business attorney discusses issues to consider when choosing to incorporate September 13, 2009

Irving business attorney discusses issues to consider when choosing to incorporate. Selecting your business structure is one of the most important decisions you will make. You should take the time to consider all of your options before selecting a business structure. When you create a corporation you are creating an entity that is completely separate from the owners and shareholders. The corporate entity will continue to exist until dissolved. It is this separate entity status that provides the protection to shareholders from corporate debts and liabilities. This liability protection is often the primary reason for selecting incorporation.

Plano Business Litigation Attorney Analyzes Recent Decision September 12, 2009

PLANO BUSINESS LITIGATION ATTORNEY RICHARD ARMSTRONG believes the Texas high court properly found no partnership in Deere v. Ingram.

Plano wrongful death lawyer Richard L. Armstrong believes one of the worst things a wrongful death victim's family can do is to put off visiting an attorney. "Even if you end up not pursuing your claim," states Armstrong, "you owe it to yourself to keep your options open as long as possible." In Texas, the statute of limitations, or time limit within which a wrongful death lawsuit must be filed, is two years from the date the claim accrued. A few notable exceptions exist, however, to this general rule. The most common one is the rule "tolling", i.e., extending, the statute of limitations applicable to minors claimants. Because a minor is considered to be under a legal disability and therefore incompetent, the statute of limitations on [more info...]
