"I had the pleasure of working with Laura B. on some recent legal matters, and I genuinely can’t recommend her enough. From start to finish, Laura was professional, responsive, and incredibly efficient. What really stood out to me was how thorough and proactive she was — she didn’t just check the boxes, she went above and beyond to make sure everything was done properly and on time. Legal work can feel overwhelming, but Laura made the entire process smooth and stress-free. She explained everything clearly, answered all my questions promptly, and stayed one step ahead the entire way. I never had to chase her for updates — she was always on top of it, which gave me a ton of peace of mind. It’s rare to find someone who combines legal expertise with such a down-to-earth, approachable style. I felt like I was in really good hands the whole time. I’ll absolutely be working with Laura again for any legal needs that come up in the future, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a sharp, dependable, and genuinely helpful attorney."

Employment Offer

Florida

Asked on Dec 8, 2023

Does the employment offer mention promotions?

I was recently offered a job and I am interested in understanding what the terms of the agreement are regarding promotions. I have been in the same job for several years and I am looking for something with more potential for advancement. Although the job offer does not explicitly mention promotions, I am hoping to get more information about the company's policy regarding career growth.

Gill D.

Answered Jan 2, 2024

Employment offers can contain information about promotions, but they typically do not. Jobs and employers and situations change over time and employers don't want to get stuck agreeing to a promotion before working with you.

Amendment To License Agreement

North Carolina

Asked on Jul 28, 2025

Can my criminal record affect my eligibility for an occupational license?

I am currently in the process of applying for an occupational license in order to work in a regulated profession, but I have a previous criminal record that includes a non-violent offense from several years ago. I am concerned that this record may negatively impact my eligibility for the license, and I would like to know if my criminal history can affect my chances of obtaining an occupational license.

Parsa G.

Answered Jul 29, 2025

While having a criminal conviction may negatively impact your eligibility for a license, it depends on the specifics of your case. Licensing boards typically evaluate the nature of the offense, how much time has passed since the conviction, and whether the offense is substantially related to the duties of the profession. A non-violent offense from several years ago may not be a barrier to licensure, especially if there is evidence of rehabilitation, there is no subsequent criminal history, and the crime is not substantially related to the purpose of the license. Many jurisdictions have adopted laws or policies aimed at reducing the impact of old or unrelated convictions on occupational licensing decisions. Boards often conduct individualized assessments and may consider factors such as your conduct since the offense, completion of sentencing terms, letters of recommendation, and your overall fitness to practice in the profession. A North Carolina-licensed attorney may be best suited to answer the specifics with regards to your license in North Carolina. If you are concerned about how your record might affect your application, it may be wise to review your criminal history, gather supporting documentation showing rehabilitation, and consult an attorney familiar with occupational licensing in your state. In some cases, I recommend pursuing an expungement or record sealing may also improve your chances in the future.

Employment Offer

Florida

Asked on Dec 5, 2023

Are employment offer letters standardized?

I recently received an employment offer from a company and I'm wondering if the language in the offer letter is standard or if I should be wary of any particular clauses. I'm eager to accept the offer, but I want to make sure that I'm not agreeing to anything that could later be detrimental to me.

Gill D.

Answered Jan 2, 2024

Offer letters generally have similar language in that they offer you a specific job at a specific price point. However, these letters are not always standardized and you should read the letter carefully to understand what is being offered.

Employee Separation Agreement

North Carolina

Asked on Jun 29, 2023

Employee separation agreement and consulting arrangements?

I am an employer who is looking to separate from an employee. I am interested in exploring the possibility of providing a consulting arrangement as part of the separation agreement. I am interested in understanding the legal implications of such an arrangement, as well as any potential liabilities or obligations that may arise from such an agreement.

Shelia H.

Answered Jul 11, 2023

While it may seem convenient to offer a consulting arrangement as part of the separation agreement, it is usually better to have the separation agreement completely detached from the consulting agreement. The separation agreement should focus on issues pertaining to the former employment, including pay, confidentiality of trade secrets, return of employer property, etc. The new consulting agreement should look forward, establishing the expectations between the party. If the separation and consulting agreements are in one agreement, there is an increased likelihood of confusion between the old job and the new job.

Independent Contractor Agreement

New York

Asked on Dec 2, 2024

What are the key provisions that should be included in an Independent Contractor Agreement?

I recently started working as an independent contractor for a company, and I have been asked to sign an Independent Contractor Agreement. I want to ensure that I am protected and that my rights and responsibilities are clearly outlined in the contract. I have heard that there are certain key provisions that should be included in such an agreement, but I am not sure what they are. I want to seek legal advice to understand what provisions should be included in the agreement to protect my interests and ensure a fair working relationship with the company.

Damien B.

Answered Dec 3, 2024

Hello! My name is Damien Bosco. My law office is in Long Island City, across from Manhattan. Some key provisions of an independent contract agreement include the scope of work and the payment terms. An important provision discusses intellectual property rights. Define who owns any work product, intellectual property, or inventions created during the contract. Consider whether you want to retain rights to your pre-existing work or methodologies. There are other provisions also such as Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Clauses. You may want an attorney to review your full Agreement to suggest additions or edits. Feel free to reach out with any more questions!
