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.

Securities Legal Questions and Answers
Securities
Offering Memorandum
New York
Can a company be exempt from filing SEC reports if it meets certain criteria?
I am currently researching the requirements for SEC reporting and I came across the concept of exemptions. I understand that certain companies, such as small businesses, may be exempt from filing SEC reports if they meet certain criteria. However, I am unsure about the specifics of these exemptions and the criteria that need to be met. I would like to know if a company can be exempt from filing SEC reports and what these criteria might be.
Danny J.
So to answer your question, yes, certain companies can be exempt from filing SEC reports if they meet specific criteria. This area of securities law is nuanced and can significantly impact a company's regulatory obligations and costs. Let me outline some key points for you: 1. **Small Reporting Company (SRC) Status:** - Companies with public float less than $250 million or annual revenues less than $100 million may qualify for scaled disclosure requirements. 2. **Emerging Growth Company (EGC) Status:** - Available for companies with less than $1.07 billion in annual gross revenues. - Provides certain disclosure and regulatory relief for up to five years after IPO. 3. **Private Company Exemptions:** - Companies with fewer than 2,000 shareholders of record (or 500 non-accredited investors) may be exempt from registration. 4. **Foreign Private Issuer Exemptions:** - Non-U.S. companies may have different reporting requirements. 5. **Rule 12h-3 Suspension:** - Allows suspension of reporting under certain conditions, like having fewer than 300 shareholders of record. While these exemptions can provide relief from full SEC reporting requirements, determining eligibility and maintaining compliance can be complex. Factors such as company size, structure, shareholder composition, and future growth plans all play crucial roles in this determination. It's important to note that even if exempt from full reporting, companies may still have obligations under state securities laws or to their shareholders. Additionally, the benefits of exemption should be weighed against potential drawbacks, such as reduced access to capital markets or decreased investor confidence. Given the complexities and potential consequences of misapplying these exemptions, it would be prudent to conduct a thorough analysis of your specific situation. Would you like to discuss your company's particulars to determine which exemptions, if any, might apply and how to strategically approach your SEC reporting obligations?

Private Placement Subscription Agreement
New York
Can you please explain the key provisions and considerations in a Private Placement Subscription Agreement?
I am in the process of investing in a private placement offering and have been asked to sign a Private Placement Subscription Agreement. While I understand that this agreement outlines the terms and conditions of my investment, I would like to have a better understanding of the key provisions and considerations that I should be aware of before signing. I want to ensure that I am fully informed about my rights, obligations, and any potential risks associated with this investment opportunity.
Danny J.
Here are the top 5 most important provisions in a Private Placement Subscription Agreement: 1. Investment Details (number of shares/units, price, total amount) 2. Investor Representations and Warranties (accredited investor status, risk understanding, etc.) 3. Company Representations and Warranties (accuracy of information, compliance, etc.) 4. Transfer Restrictions (limitations on selling or transferring securities) 5. Use of Proceeds (how the company will use the invested funds) It's important to note that there are at least up to 12 key provisions to consider in a comprehensive Private Placement Subscription Agreement. In addition, each agreement can have unique terms that require careful consideration unique to the deal or industry it's for. The specific language used in these clauses can significantly impact your rights and obligations as an investor. Given the complexity of these agreements and the potential risks involved in private placements, it would be prudent to have a thorough legal review before signing. As an experienced securities attorney, I could: 1. Analyze the specific terms of your agreement 2. Explain how each provision may affect your investment 3. Identify any unusual or potentially unfavorable terms 4. Advise on negotiating more favorable conditions, if necessary 5. Ensure the agreement complies with relevant securities laws Would you like to discuss your specific Private Placement Subscription Agreement in more detail to ensure you're making a fully informed decision about this investment opportunity?

Stock Option Agreement
California
Stock option agreement and stock splits?
I am an employee of a company that is planning to offer stock options as part of my compensation package. I am trying to understand what would happen if my company does a stock split. Would my stock options be affected by the split, and if so, how? I want to make sure I understand the implications of a stock split before I accept the stock options as part of my compensation.
Thaddeus W.
Good question! Typically, a stock split will result in an appropriate adjustment to an option award so that, after the adjustment, the option holder (you, in this case) is "made whole" -- that is, you are effectively in the same place economically (as far as this option is concerned) after the split with the option as you were before. If you look at your company's Stock Plan (the plan under which your options were authorized and granted to you), you will probably find a section called "Changes in Capitalization." (Or, you can search to document for the word "split" and may be able to find the governing provision that way.) The provision might be included in your Stock Option Agreement, but typically it is covered in the Plan. Anyway, the provision (wherever it is located in your documents) would normally say something along the lines of the following: "In the event of a stock split (and other events), the following will occur: (i) the numbers and class of shares covered by your option award, (ii) the exercise price per share of each outstanding option, and (iii) any applicable repurchase price per share issued under any option award, will be automatically proportionately adjusted in the event of a stock split (or other event)." (Usually the language is even more "legalesey" but that's pretty much the jist of it.) Of course, its impossible to say for sure in your situation (or in any other specific situation) without seeing the relevant documents and knowing all other relevant details, but that would be the typical approach.

Subscription Agreement
California
Is it possible to modify a Subscription Agreement after it has been signed?
I recently entered into a Subscription Agreement with a company to purchase shares in their business. However, since signing the agreement, I have come across some unexpected financial circumstances that may prevent me from fulfilling my obligations under the original terms. I am wondering if it is possible to modify the Subscription Agreement to accommodate these changes, or if I am legally bound to the original terms of the agreement.
Christopher N.
The short answer, as with all legal questions, is: it depends. You can certainly propose modify or be reased from your obligations, and depending on the company, your circumstances, your relationship, and their financial position, the company may be willing to entertain accomodations. It doesn't hurt to ask. Be prepared, however, for "penalties," which could mean the loss of your entire investment, significant reductions in the amount of your investment, etc. You may want to consider approaching other investors to see they would be willing to purchase some or all of your stake -- perhaps at a greater value than the company would offer. We highly recommend you consult with a business or securities attorney to be advise you the specifics of your agreement and explore exit or other strategies. Good luck!

Revenue Sharing Agreement
California
How do you fund a restaurant?
I am looking for an attorney who can help me put together restaurant business proposal to funding to expand my restaurant branch.
Russell M.
There is not a lot of detail here so I am going to assume you are not asking about how to get a small business loan, or you aren't interested or able to get SBA financing for what ever reason. If you have a successful restaurant concept, you might want to look into Regulation CF crowdfunding. I am aware of a number of food and beverage businesses that have leveraged their existing loyal and enthusiastic customer bases and a well executed financial and PR campaign to fund expansion sites.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
