I am a corporate Attorney licensed in the state of Georgia and Ghana. My professional career started in 2016 as a litigator in a private law firm in Ghana. Subsequently in 2018, I moved in house to work for the University of Ghana and this is where my corporate transactional work experience began. Since coming to the US in 2019, I have gained significant transactional experience through internships at Verizon and Tricentis (a software testing company) during law school at UGA. Since graduating from UGA law school, I have worked as a corporate transactional attorney of an AmLaw 200 firm. In that role, I helped foreign companies entering the US market to establish a presence and comply with applicable corporate laws while doing business. I also assisted customers and service providers in the software and technology industry by reviewing SaaS and similar contracts. Also, I helped energy utilities in the renewable energy space navigate regulatory and policy issues and establish contractual business relationships through contract reviews.

Dispute Legal Questions and Answers

Demand Letter
Delaware
Can you help me write and send a Demand Letter to PayPal Inc which is based in CA and my LLC was formed in DE
PayPal unlawfully took my money (over $7k) just like they did with Eric please see the post - https://www.pokertube.com/article/chris-moneymaker-lawyers-up-to-sue-paypal-for-seized-funds I joined the lawsuit but I know that some people got their money back by sending demand letters to PayPal so I want to send one too. I want your help to draft the letter and send the actual physical copy. Chances of it working are far greater if it is coming from an attorney than an individual.
Donya G.
Agreed; however, in order for a demand letter to be the most effective, it needs to be drafted by an attorney that is licensed in the state of the issue; for you, you will need a CA licensed attorney. This will ensure that when the demand letter is served by a CA attorney, the company will know that the attorney is licensed to bring a lawsuit in that state and therefore, it typically will ensure that it the demand letter is not ignored. You will need to post your job request on the website "Looking for a CA lawyer to send demand letter to PayPal" and outline what you need the lawyer to do. Lawyers licensed in CA will respond to your post, and after you speak with and choose a lawyer, the work can be done. Be sure to discuss and agree upon the price and the time in which you would like the work to be completed. All the best, Donya Gordon

Demand Letter For Payment
Georgia
I am owed money for office work I did for a business owner that agreed to pay me for my hours, but hasn’t. I have sent a certified letter demanding my owed wages and the owner won’t respond to messages or anything….what should I do?
I was hired as a secretary for a small landscaping and grading company about a year and a half ago. The owner paid me for my hours I worked when I first started, but as a few months past, he fell behind on paying me and told me that he was going to pay me. After a few weeks I had to stop going there because he kept lying telling me he would pay me, but never did. I sent txt msgs and have proof of my wages owed and have sent a certified letter of demand but have not got a response. What are my next steps to file a lien or what to do?
Sunnita B.
Hello if you have sent a letter of demand the next step would be to file a small claims suit. However, depending on how much you are owed the suit may not be beneficial. Also, in order to recoup the money you have to go through litigation and win, then you have to figure out ways to get the money you are owed because the courts do not enforce money judgments.

Arbitration Agreement
Oregon
Does the documents and photos I have enough to go to Arbitration
Contractor didn't do all the jobs he was hired to do and what he did do is unacceptable. For example, the Trex deck he built was improperly installed according to the Trex company and another Contractor. It will need to removed and replaced with the proper material/tools and measurements. Currently it is unsafe.
Donya G.
As an Arbitrator and someone who helps clients during their arbitration, I have learned that your evidence is critical to the success or failure of your case. So it is important to have as much evidence as possible and to notarize things you believe the other side would contest as not being real, true or authentic. If you need further assistance, you can contact me directly through contracts counsel. Donya Gordon

Contract Agreement
Florida
Chattel mortgage lease purchase in a cooperation
Solicited agent high pressure sales, gave me one piece of paper that I believe is a promissory note. No prospectus or lease. Owner/seller harassing me to voluntarily break lease. All payments are current. Owner knows I suspect fraud and is retaliating. I went to the DA 14 days into this without enough evidence, they said to talk to property managers. All property managers ignored my requests and canceled a meeting. I have been trying to get help for months. I recently had a 101 inspection done adding some extras and the property is in worse condition than I even imagined. I have online advertising screenshots of all the ads that were deceiving and misleading. I had no idea that I was getting into a REIT. This is absolutely 100% fraud. Investment scam. It's so complicated, it took me 7 months of researching relentlessly to see what these people did to me.
Donya G.
You are on the right in getting the DA involved. However, your issue is very specific and you need someone with experience and expertise to assist you going further. I encourage you to post your job to the website seeking a lawyer licensed in the state you are in and who has experience in handling cases such as this so that you will have an experienced advocate by your side in getting to a resolution. All the best Donya Gordon

Employee Benefits Agreement
New York
Do you take cases for unemployment overpayment benefits?
In 2020 during covid my business was forced to shut down. I was also working, I had a job and I owned an event planning business. before filing for UI I called in to ensure I was able to file for the PUA for my business. I was told by the representative yes I can. in her words she said "anyone can apply for the PUA" she did not explained to me that I cannot apply if I had another job, or what the conditions were, as I have never filed for or been on unemployment in my life until covid happened. In september 2022 I received a letter stating that I was overpaid benefits in the amount of $62000. I filed for a weaver which I was not qualified for, then I appealed and the judge ordered a recalculation and that amount went from $62K to $58K. I cannot pay this money and I need help in fighting that this was not my fault. My taxes will be garnished every year until this is paid off. I am hoping someone out there can be of assistance to me, I really need it.
Donya G.
Hello, I am sorry for the mix up. I worked with a client last year with similar circumstances. She was overpaid as well. We had a hearing and it was determined, since she had never filed before and English is not her first language that she had not done it intentionally so that fine on the payment was removed. That being said, if you were overpaid, you will need to repay the amount. She signed up on a payment plan. I suggest you do the same. If you need to engage my services to assist you, you can find me on Contracts Counsel website or my personal page Regards Donya Gordon

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
View Trustpilot ReviewContracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
View Trustpilot ReviewI never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
