My practice has involved a wide range of legal matters from commercial real estate, finance and international business transactions to litigation matters including commercial disputes, real estate, employment, and medical malpractice. Proficient in Spanish, I graduated from the University of Kentucky College of Law, the Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce, and the University of Southern California. Prior to my legal career, I sought diverse professional experiences. After graduating from college, I orchestrated my own volunteering experience in southern Peru with a small non-profit organization. Later I gained valuable professional experience as part of a U.S. Senate campaign, and after that I joined the public policy team at Greater Louisville, Inc., Louisville's Chamber of Commerce affiliate. Prior to law school, I embarked on a month long excursion with the Northern Outdoor Leadership School in Alaska, which gave me a new found appreciation for sustainability.

Website Hosting Agreement
New York
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.
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.

LLC
New York
How is profit shared after LLC formation?
I am looking to form a LLC with two other partners and we need to understand how profits will be shared between us. We have already agreed on certain terms, such as the amount of capital we will each contribute, but we need help understanding how profits should be distributed in accordance with LLC laws.
Damien B.
Hello: I understand you are forming an LLC and want to know how to distribute profits. Generally, members would share profits based on their percent ownership. For example, if you own 50% of the LLC, you get 50% of the profits. Likewise, with three members, it could be 33.33% each for example. However, LLC's are very flexibile and the distribution of profits and percentage is not set in stone. The members can decide how to distribute profits among them, usually set forth in the Operating Agreement.
Business
C Corp
Ohio
What are the steps and requirements for forming a C Corporation?
I am currently in the process of starting my own business and I have decided to structure it as a C Corporation. I have done some initial research on C Corp formation, but I am still unsure about the specific steps and requirements involved. I would like to consult with a lawyer to get a clear understanding of the process, including any necessary documents, fees, and legal obligations that come with forming a C Corporation. This information will help me ensure that I am following the correct procedures and meeting all the legal requirements in establishing my business as a C Corporation.
Paul S.
You form a corporation by filing articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State. Then you will need initial board resolutions to authorize various post-incorporation organizational matters, as well as bylaws. You will also need to issue stock to the founders. This is the kind of project I have handled for dozens of clients.
