Spiegel & Utrera, P.A.

Divorce
Child Support
Child Support: These matters involve a parent’s ability to pay monetary support to a child and may involve income imputed from other sources, such as when an employer pays the spouse in cash “under the table” without documentation.
Child Custody and Visitation
Visitation Rights: These matters involve dissolution of marriage and issues such what role a parent will have in the growth and development of their children in furtherance of the best interests of the child once the divorce tales effect.
Adoption
Adoption Law: Litigation related to this issue has shown, however, that in a number of cases, adoption agencies and independent practitioners have failed to provide prospective adoptive families with known information about a child's physical, emotional or developmental problems or with critical background information about the child's birth family and history. In these cases, adoptive families, deprived of such information, have found themselves neither emotionally nor financially prepared to care for a child whose needs require enormously expensive medical or mental health treatment. Some of these families have sought redress in the courts.
Paternity
Premarital Agreement
The laws governing the validity of premarital agreements vary from state to state. In general, the agreements must be in writing and signed by the parties.
Guardianship
The Trust can become irrevocable upon the grantor or settlor's incapacity or incompetency, but become revocable upon the recovery of the grantor or settlor and perhaps allow the avoidance of guardianship proceedings;
Spousal Support
Alimony: These matters involve a spouse ability to pay monetary support to an ex-spouse and may involve income imputed from other sources, such as when an employer pays the spouse in cash “under the table” without documentation.

Wrongful Death
Survivor and wrongful death actions: These claims involve actions brought by the executor or personal representative of the decedent’s estate when the death of a person is caused by the wrongful act, negligence, default, or breach of contract or warranty of any person, including those occurring on navigable waters, and the event would have entitled the person injured to maintain an action and recover damages if death had not ensued, or claims brought by the surviving spouse or family members.
Sex Crimes
Elder abuse: Elder abuse may involve physical abuse, such as striking, pushing, shoving, shaking, slapping, kicking, pinching, burning, improper use of drugs and physical restraints, and force-feeding, sexual abuse, such as unwanted (including acts where the elder lacks mental competence to consent) touching, all types of sexual assault or battery, such as rape, sodomy, coerced nudity, and sexually explicit photographing, emotional or psychological abuse, such as threats or misrepresentations to elders, neglect such as a refusal or failure of an obligated individual or entity to fulfill duties owed to an elder, abandonment such as the desertion of an elderly person by an individual or entity who has assumed responsibility for providing care for an elder, and financial or material exploitation such as the illegal or improper use of an elder's funds, property, or assets.
Fraud
Securities Fraud: Such litigation occurs when a publicly traded corporation and certain of its officers and directors disseminate materially false and misleading statements to investors, broker or securities analysts about the company's financial condition and/or products that served to artificially inflate the price of the company's stock. These statements are dispersed to the financial community by company press releases, prospectuses, annual reports and proxy statements, quarterly and annual financial statements and various SEC filings. In certain actions, plaintiffs must allege and prove that the defendants knowingly or recklessly disseminated materially false and misleading information. In others, such as public offerings, once a material misrepresentation is established, the burden is on the defendants to demonstrate they did not act negligently. Typically, when the truth about the company's financial condition or product is publicly revealed, investors who purchased the company's securities at a time when the prices of those securities were artificially inflated experience a significant drop in the value of their stock, causing investors serious economic losses.
Theft
Assault

Business and Corporate Law

Corporate Law
Corporate and Business Law: Commercial law (sometimes known as business law) is the body of law which governs business and commerce. It is often considered to be a branch of civil law and deals both with issues of private law and public law. Commercial law regulates corporate contracts, hiring practices, and the manufacture and sales of consumer goods. Many countries have adopted civil codes which contain comprehensive statements of their commercial law. In the United States, commercial law is the province of both the United States Congress under its power to regulate interstate commerce and the states under their police power. Efforts have been made to create a unified body of commercial law in the US; the most successful of these attempts has resulted in the general adoption of the Uniform Commercial Code.
Business Disputes
Business Transactions
For example, you may include in your Articles of Organization a special provision to protect the Managers from any actions they take on behalf of the LLC called an Indemnification clause. Basically, the LLC agrees to indemnify and hold harmless its Operating Manager(s) (those who act as agents of the LLC and represent the LLC’s interest in day to day business transactions).
Limited Liability Companies
Informative information about For Profit, Non Profit, Limited Liability Companies, Offshore Corporations, Limited Partnerships and Reddi Corps. Each topic is organized with state specific information.
Construction Contracts
Construction contracts and lien litigation: This litigation involves disputes between the owner, developer, general contractor and subcontractor regarding the contractor’s performance and payment according to the contract.
Trade Secrets
Copyrighted works may contain trade secrets or confidential information. In such a circumstance, a federal Copyright owner definitely does not want to make their work available for full public disclosure. There are exemptions where there is no public disclosure or a partial public disclosure of the work so that trade secrecy is maintained. Let Spiegel & Utrera, P.A. protect your trade secrets by registering your federal Copyright with the U.S. Government. Federal Copyright Registration with Trade Secrets Protection is $474.95 plus Government filing fees of $200.
Intellectual Property
Intellectual property: Intellectual property disputes relate to the right to license and use property under trademark and copyright laws.
Unfair Competition
Unfair competition: Challenging and defending entities and individuals allegedly involved in unfair, unlawful, or fraudulent business actions, including false advertising and trade name infringement.
Antitrust
Antitrust and Trade Regulation Law: Sherman Antitrust Act and Unfair Competition Law and other state and federal laws make it illegal for companies to agree to fix prices or to squeeze out competitors to create a monopoly or cartel. Directly or indirectly, businesses and consumers are hurt in the form of artificially high prices. Litigation often arises from Department of Justice investigations into antitrust violations. A civil antitrust lawsuit seeks monetary damages — triple the amount of the defendants' illicit gain.

Workers Compensation
Besides the ubiquitous 501(c)(3) corporations, there are other types of non-charitable corporations that are exempt from federal income tax as well. These include civic leagues and social welfare organizations (which include local associations of employees, certain homeowners' associations, advocacy organizations, and junior chambers of commerce); labor, agricultural, and horticultural organizations, such as labor unions or organizations connected with raising livestock, forestry, harvesting crops, aquatic resources or the cultivation of useful or ornamental plants; business leagues or other organizations formed to promote the interests of a particular industry or industries, such as trade associations and chambers of commerce; social and recreation clubs, such as college fraternities or sororities, country clubs, garden clubs, hobby clubs, and college alumni associations; Fraternal beneficiary societies and fraternal organizations; and other nonprofit organizations such as voluntary employees' beneficiary associations; local benevolent life insurance associations; cemetery companies; credit unions and mutual financial organizations; supplemental unemployment benefit trusts; veterans organizations; black lung benefit trusts; title holding corporations for multiple parents; state- sponsored high-risk health coverage organizations; and state-sponsored worker's compensation reinsurance organizations.
Employment Discrimination
Employment Discrimination and Harassment litigation: These disputes involve employers and employees and discriminatory employment practices such as bias in hiring, promotion, job assignment, termination, and compensation, and harassment.
Employment Contract
" When I wanted to get incorporated as an LLC in Florida, I did some research and found Amerilawyer.com on the Internet. I was impressed with Larry’s website because he had a whole lot of information available. Amerilawyer.com is organized to take a business from inception to exit. All the planning, employment agreements, trust planning, wills, etc., are taken care of in one place. I also like the General Counsel Club. I pay one small fee a year and I can pick up the phone and talk to Larry about anything. In that way Larry functions as a consultant for my business."

Real Estate Litigation
Real estate disputes: These disputes are between buyers, sellers and brokers in connection with buying, selling, and leasing commercial real estate.
Premises Liability
Premises Liability (Slip & Fall): These disputes involve injuries in premises held out to the public, such as a retail store, parking lot or apartment complex and the premises owner or manager failed to provide adequate safety or warn of dangerous conditions.
Construction Litigation
Construction Litigation: This litigation involves disputes between the owner, developer, general contractor and subcontractor regarding the contractor’s performance and payment according to the contract.
Real Estate Transactions
Real Estate and Title Insurance Claims: A little-known aspect of a real estate transaction is the role of title and escrow companies. Title insurance is required for most transactions to ensure that the property owner actually owns the property and that there are no easements, loans or liens against it. Escrow companies handle funds for a real estate transaction and are considered neutral parties responsible for helping make sure the deal gets done. Complications may arise involving these companies which may require litigation.
Eminent Domain
Eminent Domain: Such claims involve the government’s involuntary seizure of property for public purposes for which the former owner may receive just compensation.
Easement
Land Use and Zoning
Landlord-Tenant Disputes
Landlord-tenant disputes: These disputes involve a lease and usually entail a tenant’s failure to pay rent or the landlord’s failure to repair the premises or provide services. The landlord may initiate eviction proceedings to regain possession of the premises after timely notice is given to the tenant and the tenant fails to comply.

Immigration Law

Work Visas
Immigration and Nationality Law: Such matters focus on the acquisition and retention of employment credentials for executives, professionals and other skilled foreign workers. The would-be workers have to go through the application process, administrative hearings and every other stage of securing temporary and permanent work visas. Once the visas are granted, the workers’ need to comply with their employment authorization and finalize the verification process.

Personal Injury
Serious Injuries and Accidents: If you have been injured through the carelessness, negligence or irresponsible behavior of another individual or organization, you probably have a valid personal injury claim. Since most of the time you will suffer some form of loss, you have a claim arising from injuries sustained as a result of the use or operation of motor vehicles, including claims against the at-fault motorist & uninsured motorist claims.
Medical Malpractice
Medical Malpractice: Medical malpractice disputes involve injuries caused by a medical practitioner acting in a negligent manner by falling below the standards of his or her profession when treating a medical condition.
Auto Accidents
Medicaid Planning
Elder Law: Elder Law is a relatively new specialized field of law that deals with the issues faced by the fastest growing segment of the U.S. population, the elderly. This area of law combines elements of Estate Planning, Wills and Trusts, Conservatorship (also called Guardianship), Health Care Planning, Medicare/Medicaid Planning, and Elder Rights.
Dog Bites
People who are injured by an animal while on the owner's property are generally unable to recover if they are trespassing at the time of the attack. In many states, in order to successfully bring suit under a dog bite statute, the injured person must show that he or she was lawfully in the place where the injury occurred. If injured person was a trespasser at the time of the attack, the animal's owner may not be liability for injuries caused by his or her animal. If, for example, someone jumps over a fence into an enclosed junkyard with “Beware of Dog” warnings posted and taunts the German shepherd guard dog with a stick, the junkyard owner may not be liable if the dog bites the trespasser.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
What's a Family Limited Partnership? The Family Limited Partnership (“FLP”) is a limited partnership where family members hold most or all of the ownership interest in a limited partnership, and it is an important vehicle for asset protection and estate planning. The FLP can be used to create a powerful strategy for asset protection and for realizing estate tax and income tax benefits.
