   Bluehair replied to mea26's topic in Legal

   I'm in! I've been working on overcoming my unexplained TERROR of calling. Did a few office visits to break the ice, and it is helping. I'm visual - seeing that the attorney's staff have been down and out friendly is slowly melting my fear of cold ...

6. Business

   Bluehair replied to lecavalier4's topic in Legal

   I agree with rnpract. I also filed my business as a LLC, to keep my home, personal assets, etc. separate from my business in the (hopefully unlikely) event of a suit against me. It was a LOT easier than many web pages would have you think, and chea...
