ignores current LLC case law

ineffective communications with Sam's "shuck and jive" sales team and ZERO comunication with Sam who withheld all documents to be filed with SOS until significant damage had been done. Easily corrected, he remains unresponsive and his sales staff hangs up phone calls. Follina MicroSoft exploit acknow...ledged by MS at the end of May 2022 is a prime reason why doing serious business with these clowns whose spoken words are all NO GOOD. Playing too many too fast to pay attention to substantial details any non-idiot would realize something had gone amiss. Lawsuit will be filed in state court, perhaps USDC. The screwing and negligence is unacceptable and inexcusable.

Only useful at the beginning, but they do so many mistakes and don't take responsibility

The LLC creation was quick, but here they made their first big error (stating the business address was in another country!). To amend their error, Sam wanted to charge us again. Then, we discovered that we were in a tax regime not appropriate for our number of partners and being foreigners. So, we a...sked them, and Sam decided to send an application to the IRS to amend it. This application was rejected by the IRS because they used again a foreign business address not in the US. Once again, we had to ask them to re-submit the application with the correct address. This time, Sam told us they were going to follow up with IRS and never ever came back with an update. For several months we kept asking, and finally we discovered Sam didn't send the form in the date he said, but months later. So after one year of the company creation, we are still in the wrong tax regime...

  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
