Zenaida R.
I am an active member of The Florida Bar, having successfully passed the Florida Bar Examination in September 2023. My legal career spans over seven years, beginning with extensive experience as a law clerk, where I supported attorneys and developed a strong foundation in client-focused legal work. I focus my own practice on business and estate planning matters, including entity formation, corporate governance and compliance, commercial transactions, and long-term planning for individuals, families, and business owners. My estate planning practice focuses on helping individuals and families protect their assets, plan for incapacity, and ensure their wishes are carried out with clarity and confidence. I regularly prepare wills, trusts, powers of attorney, health care directives, and related planning documents, and I take a personalized, practical approach to each plan—ensuring it reflects the client’s goals, family dynamics, and long-term needs while remaining fully compliant with Florida law.

I have been licensed to practice law in Florida since 1999. My work has centered on a wide range of family‑court matters, including divorce, child support, custody, paternity cases, and prenuptial agreements. I also handle broader family‑law services such as Last Will & Testaments, Powers of Attorney, and property‑related issues such as Quit Claim Deeds. In addition to family law, I have extensive experience in consumer bankruptcy law, such as Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and advising clients on issues such as wage garnishments, bank levies, foreclosure defense, repossessions, judgment enforcement, credit card lawsuits, and debt defense tactics. I regularly guide individuals on qualifying for bankruptcy, means‑testing, exemption planning, and strategies to protect assets in divorce and bankruptcy. I developed the Family Law and Bankruptcy Law courses for a law school, and I am the author of Consumer Bankruptcy Law for paralegals and legal professionals, published by Routledge. I also teach business law, economics of law, and bankruptcy in both English and Spanish for an international university.

Matthew S.
I am a business, Internet, and intellectual property lawyer. My practice is split between both transactional work and litigation. Prior to law school, I earned a master’s degree in computer science, which gives me the background and experience to understand technology, software, and the Internet better than most attorneys, and so my practice focuses on these areas. However, I represent clients in almost any industry, including real estate, construction, medicine, service, and consumer products.

C Corp
New York
C corp and exit strategies?
I am the founder of a small C Corp that has been in business for 5 years. We have achieved success and grown significantly since our founding, but I am now considering different exit strategies. I am seeking legal advice about which exit strategies would be best for my C Corp and how to properly implement them.
Michael S.
There are a number of possible exit strategies, including a sale to a third party, a sale to an employee stock ownership plan, and a sale to an employee-owned cooperative corporation. Each of those approaches could be effected through a single transaction, or through multiple installments, or you could maintain some ownership of the business indefinitely. Each appraoch comes with certain relative advantages and disadvantages. Please contact me if you would like to discuss your options in greater detail.

Business Purchase Agreement
California
Who signs the business purchase agreement?
I am looking to purchase an existing business and am currently in the process of negotiating a business purchase agreement. I am not sure who is responsible for signing the agreement and would like to know who needs to sign in order for the agreement to be legally binding. I am hoping to get some clarification on this matter so that I can move forward with the purchase.
David B.
The short (but not very helpful) answer is: a person that is authorized by the business to bind the business. So, if the business being acquired in a corporation, it would likely be the CEO. During due diligence, the business being acquired should disclose that information and provide a copy of the minutes of a meeting of the Board of Directors showing that such person has been duly authorized. Occasionally, the CEO will sign an agreement stating that she has been duly authorized and is personally liable, and if she isn't she will be personally responsible for the problems tha arise. That being said, each deal is different depending on the facts. First, what type of entity is being acquired? Is it a corporation or LLC or partnership or something else? Second, what was done by the entity to vest authority in the person that will sign the acquisition agreement? Underlying all of this is the need to ensure that the seller is telling the truth. You may want to contact the department of corporation in your state to ensure that the entity has been duly registered, is current on all of its filing and verify that the person signing the agreement is listed on the paperwork.

Asset Purchase Agreement
Texas
How does an asset purchase agreement work with debt?
I am buying a business and want to use an asset purchase agreement based on what I've read, but I believe the company has debt. How does this work? Will I also be buying the debt? Any help is appreciated
John S.
It depends. If you want to use an asset purchase agreement to purchase just the assets of the company instead of the entire company, then an asset purchase agreement is the way to go as you could avoid taking on the company's existing debts. However, if you plan to buy the business as a whole I would expect you will inherit the debts as well unless you draft a release from the former owners.

Stock Purchase Agreement
Connecticut
What is a stock purchase agreement?
I am a small business owner looking to purchase a company and I am interested in understanding more about a stock purchase agreement. I understand that this type of agreement is used when a buyer wishes to purchase the stock of a company, but I would like to learn more about the specifics of the agreement and what is involved in the process.
Thomas L.
There are two ways to purchase a company. Buy its assets individually, or purchase the stock of the company. Buying the assets is more legal work, and more expensive and disruptive to the purchased business' relationship with third parties such as employees, customers, vendors, and banks, but avoids assuming the liabilities of the selling company. Buying the stock of the company is far less disruptive, but runs the risk of assuming undisclosed liabilities of the company.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
