MARTIN HORWITZ, BUSINESS LAW ATTORNEY

Martin began his presentation with a question.  You buy a bat and a ball and it costs you $1.10.  The bat costs a dollar more than the ball, how much does the ball cost? 
Dissolution of a partnership – was there a written agreement when the partnership originated?  Document your agreement before there is an issue.  A client owed several thousand dollars and Martin explained the small claims procedure because the case was too small to utilize his services.  Martin would rather refer a client to a specialist, such as Cathe Caraway-Howard, when it is out of his specialty.  The practice is a general practice, as he works both plaintiff and defense.  From a minor  legal issue that is worthy of small claims court to a serious contract issue, contact Martin for expert legal help.http://tinyurl.com/25pjqq9

JEFFREY NADRICH, PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY

Jeff promised us a very entertaining presentation and delivered.   He encouraged the membership to use fellow members when they need services, as he does (just one example is Eve for Graphic Arts work).  If you need the best service, hire an experienced professional.
As a contingency service, N&C does not get paid unless the client gets paid, so they will only take a winning case.  If you are in an accident and injured, do not give a statement to the insurance company until after you have spoken to your attorney at N&C.   Another reminder is for ample Uninsured Motorist insurance, which many people do not carry.  Protect yourself and call your insurance agent (Manderscheid) today.  Please keep Jeff’s phone number in your phone in case of an accident.http://tinyurl.com/46qof23
