I represent a diverse mix in a vast array of specialties, including litigation, contracts, compliance, business and financial strategies, and emerging industries. Credit for this foundation of strength goes to those who taught me. Skilled professors and professionals fostered my powerful educational and professional background. Prior to law school, I earned dual Bachelor’s degrees in Business Administration & Accounting from Peru State College. I received a Master of Business Administration degree from Chadron State College. My ambitions did not stop there. While working full time as a Senior Accountant for the University of Missouri, Columbia, I achieved the lifelong goal of becoming a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA). Mizzo provided excellent opportunities and amazing experiences. Managing over $50M in government and private research funding was a gift. As a high ranking professional in the Department of Research, I was given priceless insight into the greatest scientific, journalistic, medical, and legal minds in the world. My passion for successful growth did not, and has not stopped. I graduated summa cum laude (top 3%) with a Doctorate in Law, emphasizing in urban, land use and environmental/toxic tort law from the University of Missouri, Kansas City. This success lead to invaluable experiences of serving as Hon. Brian C. Wimes' judicial clerk for the U.S. District Court for the W. D. of Missouri, as a staff editor/writer for UMKC Law Review, and as a litigation and transactional attorney with Lathrop GPM (fka Lathrop & Gage). My professional and personal network is expansive, with established relationships throughout the U.S. and overseas. Although I engage in legal practice all over the country, I maintain law licenses in Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska. Federally, I hold licenses in the W.D. and E.D. of Missouri and the District of Nebraska. To offer extra value, efficiency, and options, I maintain a CPA license and am obtaining a real-estate brokerage license.

"I contacted Parachini Law after I had sent multiple unanswered information requests a third party. Mark not only send out a record request to the address specified, but also sent out additional requests at other possible business addresses to ensure the request was received. As a result, I finally received the information I was looking for. The firm was very professional to work with."

LLC Operating Agreement

Kansas

Asked on Jul 16, 2025

Can an LLC operating agreement be modified without the consent of all members?

Can an LLC operating agreement be modified without the consent of all members? I am a member of an LLC and we have been operating under a certain agreement for several years. However, there have been some changes in our business and it is necessary to make amendments to the operating agreement. One of the members is reluctant to agree to the changes, but the majority of us believe it is in the best interest of the company. We want to know if it is possible to modify the operating agreement without the unanimous consent of all members, and if so, what steps are required to do so legally.

Cherie M.

Answered Aug 1, 2025

It primarily depends on what your operating agreement says regarding consent for making changes. That will control the process. If it is just changes to the operating agreement, it does not need to be reported to the Secretary of State. Changes to the Articles of Organization would need to be reported, however.

What would an individual hoping to start small businesses with no funding now need in a loyal and sincere legal professional?

I am a woman who have varied ideas for businesses and who needs to have a cost line item for a good lawyer who can handle my needs (which I may not know now) in starting a consulting business in managing projects, travels, speech deliveries - story telling, and may be, some property deals among others. I am also one who have a nonprofit that needs guidance. I may be the focus brand but with for profit and nonprofit organization biases. How do i proceed with inclusion in my proposed budget for a reasonable, fair and loyal legal professional who can grow with me and stay on me for progress? I can also become internationally business minded. Costing please?

Website Hosting Agreement

New York

Asked on Jan 13, 2025

Can a website hosting agreement be terminated if the hosting provider fails to meet the agreed-upon uptime guarantee?

I recently signed a website hosting agreement with a hosting provider for my e-commerce business. The agreement included an uptime guarantee of 99.9%. However, in the past few months, the hosting provider has experienced frequent downtime causing significant disruptions to my business operations. Despite repeated complaints and requests for resolution, the issue persists. I would like to know if I have grounds to terminate the hosting agreement and seek compensation for the losses incurred due to the hosting provider's failure to meet the uptime guarantee.

Daehoon P.

Answered Feb 11, 2025

In many website hosting agreements, an uptime guarantee is a critical component, and failure to meet this benchmark can be considered a breach of contract. If your provider’s frequent downtime falls significantly short of the promised 99.9% uptime, and the contract includes specific provisions that allow for termination or remedies when such service levels are not met, you likely have grounds to terminate the agreement. Often, these agreements include Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that specify remedies—such as service credits, termination rights, or even compensation for losses—in the event of persistent performance issues. However, whether you can terminate the hosting agreement and seek compensation for your losses depends largely on the exact terms outlined in your contract. Some agreements may require you to follow a specific dispute resolution process or provide the hosting provider with a cure period before termination is permitted. Additionally, even if the contract does not explicitly state termination rights for failing to meet the uptime guarantee, consistent and significant performance issues may be argued as a material breach. It is advisable to review your contract carefully and consult with a legal professional who can help you determine your rights and the best course of action based on the specific language and remedies provided in your agreement.

Partnership Agreement

New York

Asked on Nov 16, 2023

What's a buy-sell clause in a partnership agreement?

I am forming a partnership with a business partner and we are in the process of creating a partnership agreement. We understand the importance of having a buy-sell clause in the agreement and we want to make sure that our interests are protected in the event that one of us chooses to leave the partnership. We are looking for more information on what this clause should include and the legal implications of it.

Damien B.

Answered Nov 28, 2023

There are numerous variations of a buy-sell provision, clause or agreement. Generally, the provision is for one of the other owners (or the entity) to purchase the ownership interest of the one who has died or wants to leave the business. For example the parties enter into a buy/sell agreement to effect the purchase of the deceased partner's share upon such partner's death, to be funded by life insurance policies. There could also be an agreement for the entity itself to redeem the shares or membership interest depending on the type of entity Also, sometimes there is another type of triggering event other than an owner's death. Overall though, the buy/sell clause is a way to keep the ownership of the entity with the existing owners rather than having a third party become one of the owners of the business. So a buy-sell clause, provision or agreements alleviate the concern over what happens if a partner dies, leaves the business suddenly or retires.
