The company went out of business. American Express is claiming that I am personally responsible for the charges. I have asked for proof or something that I signed saying that I was responsible. They said they don't have anything since the card was issued originally in the 1980's. Another person trying to collect told me that when I received the card in the mail there was some fine print attached that said that if I used the card I would be responsible. The card actually says CORPORATE on it. What really are the liabilities personally? Is there a way to fight this? This certainly impacts hundreds of thousands of people who have Amex Corporate cards issued to them by their company.

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 11:15:46 PST http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/is-my-lead-counsel-required-to-communicate-with-me-129215.html I hired a firm. I was given an attorney as lead counsel in a court case. He did things on my case without my authorization and would not fix them even thought he could. Supposedly, they cannot fix the mistakes now. I was unhappy and expressed this. The head of the firm took over the case for communication purposes only as the go between, but apparently I am not allowed to communicate with my " lead counsel." Shouldn't the person who is listed on the court case and on the court docket be required to communicate with me at some point?

The client has recently decided to hire their own in-house designer and will no longer need our services. They are asking for all of the working files we used to create their products over the last 7 years, so that they can give the files to their in-house designer and continue - business as usual. Does my client own our working files, or just the finished products?
