Diamond R.
July 29, 2023 My name is Diamond Simpson Roberts, ESQ, MSPH and I am convinced that I can be a value added asset to most any company. As the first in my family to graduate a four-year university, I graduated from Wayne State University Law School in 2000 but could not afford a bar prep course upon completion. After over 20 years, I sat for the July 2022 UBE, successfully passed and am currently licensed in three states! This is an example of my self-motivation, internal drive and passion. I offer over 28 years of diverse experience in healthcare, strategy, sales/marketing, legal/policy and business savvy. I have many years building, leveraging, and sustaining long term relations to drive revenue as an entrepreneur and for corporations. My analytical strengths provide me with an innate ability to think through tough situations/topics while viewing both vantage points (which is excellent for law and life). I have been appointed to serve on numerous committees due to my heightened ability to identify client issues and priorities and provide solutions based upon relevant products, services and needs. I have led teams with and without authority; specifically, I have managed teams for an Adult Foster Care Facility called Etonne Cares, during my post-graduate fellowship with the largest Catholic Healthcare System in the U.S. and during my two-year executive order appointment with the Federal Government (Presidential Management Fellowship). Most importantly, I am a collaborative team player who knows how to improvise, overcome and adapt! I offer numerous years of being a pharmaceutical trainer and being an adjunct using the online platform. I welcome the opportunity to continue in the interview so that I may further highlight the skills I can (and will) contribute to my success in the role. Respectfully, Diamond Simpson Roberts, ESQ, MSPH DQSSIMPSON@GMAIL.COM M: 313-942-6747

What is sales tax nexus?
I am considering an acquisition of an e-commerce company and have read about internet taxes and 'sales tax nexus'.
Jane C.
Sales tax nexus is the minimum contacts that a seller has with a state that would require it to register to do business within the state and file sales tax returns. Examples of activities that may create sales tax nexus include having a warehouse in the state and physical delivery of goods into the state.

Florida
How. much in value can I give as a gift? I am a resident of Florida?
My son wants to gift stock and wants to know how much in value he can gift.
Diane D.
Your son should be doing the asking because by you asking, you are illegally practicing law. However, generally you are not required to file a gift tax return unless the total gifts to a recipient exceed the annual gift tax exclusion for that calendar year., which for Florida is $15,000.

Our boat is a flow through asset to us when we closed our Delaware LLC about 4 years ago. We sold the boat to ourselves at a one dollar amount registering and documenting it to us in our names...the corporation closing. The boat would possibly sell for 150k to 18k in today’s market. We did pay Florida state sales tax years ago and this was recognized on flow through to us. What if anything will we owe if it’s a capital gain? Thank you.
We plan to sell the boat in a month or two in Florida. We are retired with retirement incomes of less than 40k per year and we live in Florida. Thank you.

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.
View Trustpilot ReviewI 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.
View Trustpilot ReviewI 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.
