Patrick Dodger Paschall

In a 15 minute conversation, Patrick was able to expertly, concisely, and clearly communicate to me what my wife and I need to do to prevent risking personal assets when standing up and operating an LLC. Additionally, Patrick was also able to detail the likely circumstances under which other entities would attempt to seek personal assets when seeking claims against an LLC. I would definitely seek out Patrick again for any business-related concerns. Thanks Patrick !!

My case involved me working with a business partner with whom I had a verbal contract. I was to exchange work for a percentage of a company we would start together. As Founders, we made many sacrifices to get the company off the ground and make it successful. When I later demanded my shares in writing, my partner made excuses until finally severing the relationship and exploiting my failure to get a written contract in place. Mr. Paschall took the time to fully understand my complicated position and presented several options that I did not know were available. In short, I didn't know my rights. He quickly got the company to relinquish back pay I was owed, but they did not want to give me my shares. I filed a lawsuit with Mr. Paschall as my representation. Our claim included: 1. UNFAIR BUSINESS PRACTICES 2. NONPAYMENT OF MINIMUM WAGE 3. FAILURE TO PAY WAGES WHEN DUE 4. FAILURE TO PROVIDE ACCURATE ITEMIZED WAGE STATEMENTS 5. WRONGFUL TERMINATION IN VIOLATION OF PUBLIC POLICY 6. INTENTIONAL MISREPRESENTATION 7. FALSE PROMISE 8. CONCEALMENT 9. NEGLIGENT MISREPRESENTATION 10. CONVERSION 11. BREACH OF CONTRACT 12. BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTY 13. PROMISSORY ESTOPPEL 14. ACCOUNTING For 2 years my x-partner tried to spend me out of court and get me to quit. Mr. Paschall handled their tact wisely and with authority. He kept on top of them every step of the way and applied pressure when it matter most. After taking depositions, and with our court date closing in, the defendants knew they were outclassed. Mr. Paschall negotiated a complete buyout as a settlement. The company claimed they couldn't afford to buy me out, and their numbers showed it. In response, Patrick structured my settlement to be payed out over time and secured by a stipulation of judgement, against not only the company, but also the individual. I've begun to receive my payments on time, and consider this a win. If you have any business law or labor law claims and you'd like to know your rights, Patrick is your man. His communication skills, knowledge, and passion make him one of San Diego's best lawyers.
