www.parachinilaw.com 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.

Employment Handbook

Florida

Asked on Jul 16, 2023

Employment handbook harassment policy?

I am a manager at a company that recently updated its employee handbook. I noticed that the new handbook does not include a policy for harassment, and I am concerned about how to handle such issues in my work environment. I am looking for an attorney to provide advice on the best way to implement a harassment policy and ensure that the policy is compliant with all applicable laws.

Diane D.

Answered Jul 25, 2023

You need to find an attorney that does employment law and HR law. If you want, you can contact me, and I can help. I am very familiar with harassment policies and the applicable laws, and have participated in creating handbooks for employees.

Independent Contractor Agreement

Massachusetts

Asked on Jul 22, 2024

Can an independent contractor agreement be modified after it has been signed?

I have been working as an independent contractor for a company for the past year and recently encountered some issues with the terms outlined in my original independent contractor agreement. The agreement was signed when I first started working with the company, but due to changes in the scope of work and additional responsibilities that were not initially anticipated, I am wondering if it is possible to modify the agreement to reflect these changes. I want to ensure that my rights and obligations are properly outlined and that I am protected legally in this working relationship.

Richard G.

Answered Aug 30, 2024

Yes, generally, an independent contractor agreement can be modified after it has been signed. However, any changes must be made formally and typically require the consent of both parties involved. Here’s how to properly modify an independent contractor agreement...although (caution here) I would contact a business/employment law attorney such as myself: 1. Draft a Written Amendment Create an Amendment: Prepare a written amendment or addendum to the original agreement. This document should clearly specify the changes being made and reference the original agreement. Include Details: Clearly outline what parts of the original agreement are being modified and include any new terms or conditions. 2. Get Mutual Agreement Both Parties’ Consent: Both the contractor and the client must agree to the changes. This means both parties should review and approve the amendment. Signature: Both parties should sign the amendment to make it legally binding. It’s a good idea to have each party retain a copy of the signed amendment. 3. Review and Update Documentation Original Agreement: Ensure that the original agreement and any amendments are kept together and clearly documented. Consistency: Make sure that any changes made are consistent with the overall terms of the agreement and applicable laws. Consult an Attorney: Depending on the complexity of the changes, it may be wise to consult with a legal professional to ensure that the modifications are legally sound and properly documented.

Noncompete Agreement

Washington

Asked on Jul 11, 2023

Noncompete agreement termination options?

I recently left my job after signing a Noncompete Agreement. I am looking for a new job, but I am concerned about the restrictions in the Noncompete Agreement and how it might affect my ability to find a new job. I am looking for advice on my options for terminating or modifying the Noncompete Agreement so that I can find a new job without having to worry about any potential legal repercussions.

Merry A.

Answered Aug 15, 2023

I am a WA State employment attorney. If you didn’t receive anything in return for signing the non-compete, it may be relatively easy to get out of it. If, however, you signed in return for something, such as a severance package, it will be challenging to get out of the agreement. However, many non-compete agreements are written overly broadly and may not be enforceable under the laws of WA and other states. You may want to consult with a WA State employment attorney for a review of the documents and law(s) of the state(s) where you may want to work or set up a business. (A WA State attorney can only provide legal advice in WA, but can help you find applicable law/case decisions for other states but without providing anything beyond information, much like a law librarian).

Employment Handbook

Florida

Asked on Jul 4, 2023

Employment handbook disciplinary policy?

I am an employee at a large company and I recently received a disciplinary action for an incident that occurred in the workplace. I was given a copy of the company's Employee Handbook, but I am not sure what the disciplinary policy is or what the consequences are for violating the policy. I would like to understand the disciplinary policy so that I can better understand the disciplinary action taken against me.

Diane D.

Answered Aug 15, 2023

You would have to submit the policy to an attorney so that it can be explained to you. You can submit a work order through ContractsCounsel.

Contracts 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.

I 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.

I 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.
