The New Texas Abortion Law Should Scare Us All

August 3, 2021 / by Larry Donahue / Business Tips / 0 comments

I’m not here trying to get into the abortion debate. As a business lawyer, as you might imagine, I have clients on both the far-left and far-right of the political spectrum, and I have a whole lot of other clients who are in the middle. We lawyers get paid to do two things, basically: keep […]

No, You Don’t Have a Right To Say Anything in a Review

July 30, 2021 / by Larry Donahue / Dispute Resolution / 0 comments

I’m so sick and tired of dealing with people who wrap themselves in the American Flag, and then utter complete nonsense or worse, and really hurt small businesses with their outlandish and unfair reviews, claiming the First Amendment protects them from whatever they say. The fact of the matter is, the First Amendment protects freedom […]

How to Cancel Subscription Services

May 26, 2021 / by Larry Donahue / / 0 comments

Do you have a subscription service with us, and want to cancel? We do not lock you into a contract, so all services with L4SB can be terminated by you at any time. We have removed the “cancel subscription” button from our website, because so many clients of ours end up cancelling a service without […]

I am not a US citizen, but want to form an Anonymous company in the US and have a US-based bank account. I have a lot of tax questions.

February 16, 2021 / by Larry Donahue / / 0 comments

We are US-based attorneys and can really only give advice about US-based law and taxes. If you are located outside the US, a lot depends on the country you are located in, because your country will have its own specific ways it deals with taxes and income derived outside your country, and the US will […]

Be Honest with Your Attorney

February 16, 2021 / by Larry Donahue / Business Tips / 0 comments

We’re not even through the second month in 2021, and it’s already happened to me twice: I had two different clients lie to me about the facts and circumstances surrounding their case. As an attorney, I proceeded along a course of action for both of these clients (completely different, unrelated matters and issues by the […]

We are not Red States versus Blue States

December 17, 2020 / by Larry Donahue / Business Tips / 0 comments

As I write this, I have been an attorney for almost 27 years. In those 27 years, I’ve seen it all. Family dynasties torn asunder after the family matriarch or patriarch dies, and the cousins cannot get along. Sons beating up fathers. Daughters against mothers. A best friend changing the locks to the business. A […]

Bank Won’t Accept a Virtual Mailbox. What Do I Do?

October 29, 2020 / by Larry Donahue / / 0 comments

There are a number of possibilities when dealing with banks who don’t like CMRA addresses (that is what the US Postal Service calls mailboxes provided by third parties, such as UPS, Mailboxes Etc, and L4SB). First, remember that if you use a CMRA address for your company (like the L4SB Virtual Mailbox), it’s the one […]

Do I Need to Use Different Names for a Parent and Child Company?

October 29, 2020 / by Larry Donahue / / 0 comments

It’s certainly legal to have your parent and child company have the same name (assuming they are located in different states). Let’s suppose you wanted the name ACME, LLC (and it was available in both states), then you could have ACME, LLC in both states. The reason for this, is technically, the legal reference for […]

Business Horror Stories: Curse of the Aggressive Lawyer

October 27, 2020 / by Larry Donahue / Dispute Resolution / 0 comments

Beware what financial danger lurks when you ask your lawyer to be “More Aggressive” with your case! There are many ways to pursue a dispute, with aggressiveness on one end of the spectrum and collaboration on the other end of the spectrum. It is understandable, due to the personal nature of any dispute, that the […]

Business Horror Stories: The Vampire Business Partner

October 14, 2020 / by Larry Donahue / Dispute Resolution / 0 comments

Bad business partners suck. When not draining the life out of you, they are probably running your business into the ground. In most horror tales, vampires start out as intriguing and intelligent characters. It is only after their victims have fallen under their spell does the bloodletting begin. The same could be said for bad […]
