Q. What to do when attorney was instructed to file paperwork and he did not, causing a dismissal of case ?

December 23, 2022

A: Certainly, you should speak to your attorney about filing a motion to reopen the case and obtain permission to file the appropriate documents. He or she should obviously comply with your request. Refiling is also a possibility, but there are factors that might prevent it. If there is no compliance, seek other counsel to file the appropriate motions, as discussed above.

Q. I started a software company in Michigan and I am getting clients from other states, do I need to file LLC there?

February 24, 2022

A: The filing of Articles of Organization in the other states in which you are doing business is not appropriate. Doing so would create separate entities that would have to be treated accordingly. The registration of your company in those states in which you are doing business is, however, another matter. If your business does not have sufficient contacts with the other states, you may not have to register as a foreign entity doing business in the "remote" states. But, if you do have sufficient contacts, for instance an office located within the state or employees who reside in that state and work from home, etc. registration is recommended. Each state has different, albeit similar, rules as to whether you will be required to register. Check out those rules, statutes, etc.
