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 currently teach business law, economics of law, and bankruptcy in both English and Spanish for an international university.

LLC Operating Agreement

Florida

Asked on Aug 8, 2021

What happens to LLC when member dies?

I want to create an operating agreement that explains what happens with the business in case one of the members died. We have an LLC. We want to create an operating agreement that states how the business will keep working in case one of our members dies.

Rishma E.

Answered Aug 23, 2021

Membership interests in an LLC are considered the personal property of the interests holders. As such, you will need to include clauses in which you specifically name beneficiaries for those membership interests upon death of the interests holders. You may additionally need to include procedures for transfer (for example through membership certificates).

Operating Agreement

Texas

Asked on Jan 15, 2025

Can an operating agreement be amended without the unanimous consent of all members?

Can an operating agreement for a limited liability company (LLC) be amended without the unanimous consent of all members, specifically in a situation where one member wants to introduce changes to the agreement but another member is opposed to the proposed amendments? I am a member of an LLC and we have encountered a disagreement regarding certain provisions in our operating agreement that one member wishes to modify in order to better suit our evolving business needs, while another member believes the existing agreement should remain unchanged. We are seeking clarification on the legal requirements for amending the operating agreement and the extent to which unanimous consent is necessary.

Ricardo A.

Answered Jan 24, 2025

The ability to amend an LLC's operating agreement without unanimous consent depends on the provisions explicitly stated in the operating agreement itself and the governing state law. Here are the general considerations based on your uploaded documents: Operating Agreement's Amendment Provisions: If the operating agreement specifies that unanimous consent is required to amend the agreement, all members must agree before any changes can be made​. Some agreements allow amendments with a lower threshold, such as a majority or supermajority vote, which could permit changes without unanimous consent​. Default State Laws: If the operating agreement is silent on amendments, state law typically governs. Many state laws default to requiring unanimous consent for amendments, but this varies by jurisdiction​ . Provisions Adversely Affecting Members: Even if unanimous consent is not generally required, amendments that disproportionately or adversely affect a specific member often require that member's explicit approval​. Operating Agreement Example: In one of the agreements reviewed, a specific clause stipulates that amendments generally require unanimous consent unless the change is a technical clarification or otherwise allowed by a specific majority vote​. To resolve your disagreement: Review the Operating Agreement: Look for any specific provisions regarding amendments and voting requirements. Consult State Law: Identify the state where your LLC is formed and review applicable LLC statutes for default rules on amendments. Seek Legal Advice: An attorney licensed in the applicable can clarify whether proposed amendments align with the operating agreement and applicable laws.

Business Partnership Agreement

Arizona

Asked on Oct 4, 2022

What to include in a business partnership agreement?

I want to learn what terms are typical in a partnership agreement. Background - I am wanting to create a partnership with an SEO agency (I provide digital ads/SEM services). I want to make sure we have the right terms around profit sharing and making sure they don't poach my clients without me getting a cut of the revenue. Any help is appreciated.

Michael S.

Answered Nov 4, 2022

I recommend hiring an experienced corporate attorney to help negotiate and draft the agreement. You can't be given a list of 3 or 5 pointers and then expect to negotiate the agreement yourself. There are too many pitfalls. And you wouldn't expect someone to come to you and ask you how they can do for themselves what you do, right? It's more complicated than that, and there's a reason you're a professional.

Shareholders Agreement

Kansas

Asked on Jun 2, 2023

Shareholders agreement and indemnification?

I am a founder of a startup business and I recently entered into a Shareholders Agreement with my business partners. I am looking to understand how the agreement handles indemnification for the shareholders. I am seeking clarity on the extent of liability that I may be held responsible for as a shareholder.

Ben P.

Answered Jun 13, 2023

The answer to your question will largely depend on the specific terms of the Shareholders Agreement, and whether the claims, and potential liability, come from a third party, the corporation itself, or your fellow shareholders. It might also depend on any other role(s) you have with the corporation as a director, officer, employee, and/or agent. A Kansas statute (K.S.A. 17-6305) provides specific parameters regarding a corporation's basic indemnity obligations for its directors, officers, employees, or agents. However, a shareholders agreement, the articles of incorporation, and/or bylaws might provide for more details regarding an indemnification review and approval process, the advancement of fees, or other requirements or protections. Related to indemnification by the corporation itself, the existence and extent of any insurance coverage for directors and officers liability (a D&O policy) could be a vital consideration in certain situations. You should consult with an experienced attorney regarding the specific terms of your Shareholders Agreement, any other relevant corporate documents, and the particular concerns you might have to make sure you fully understand the extent of any protection provided, and whether there are any uncertain areas or issues that need to be addressed.
