Be careful before investing in a new business!

Over the years, we have repeatedly been contacted by individuals seeking legal advice and assistance because they have given money to someone with the understanding that they were investing in an enterprise or entering into a partnership that would eventually result in a return or benefit once the endeavor started generating profits. The story we have heard over and over is that person A – often located somewhere outside of Alaska -- gave thousands of dollars to person B (in Alaska) to get the business off the ground, only to have person B eventually stop answering questions and essentially “ghosting” person A after person A tries to get answers about what the money has been used for and why there have been no profits generated yet. Sadly, these situations often lack any written agreement establishing the parties’ expectations and duties with respect to the investment or joint enterprise. Additionally, the person who provided the cash capital has often not made arrangements to establish any legally enforceable security interest in the property purchased for the joint enterprise or in the property that the other “partner” owns. The failure to memorialize a business agreement in writing and to insist on appropriate security agreements can, under some circumstances, make it impossible for the person who contributed money to the joint enterprise to hold the other “partner” accountable for misusing or even stealing the money that was intended to be used for the business endeavor.

If you are considering investing money in a new business or profit-generating enterprise that will have its day-to-day operations managed by someone other than you, it would be wise to seek advice from a licensed attorney before transferring that money to the other person.

If you or a loved one have been injured in a crime involving a motor vehicle, don’t rely solely on the government’s prosecutor to secure fair compensation for your injuries. While the prosecutor in a criminal proceeding can seek a “restitution judgment” against the criminal defendant, it is not part of the prosecutor’s job to investigate the criminal’s automobile insurance policies and pursue compensation for you from all available insurance coverages that may be applicable to the harm you suffered. If you or a family member have been injured in a motor vehicle incident, regardless of whether the at-fault driver was issued a ticket or charged with a crime, call Burglin & Doxey, PC to discuss your options.

Domestic Violence Protective Orders are often misused by individuals who are not actually victims of domestic violence, but are instead troubled individuals, dissatisfied with a relationship, who view a Domestic Violence Protective Order as a relatively easy way to commandeer a person’s home, gain possession of a vehicle and other items that belong to another, and sometimes even secure temporary custody of children without appearing before a judge or facing any challenge to false accusations offered as the basis of the requested protective order. Fortunately, only a temporary “short-term” protective order can be granted without the accuser being required to appear before a judicial officer and the accused person in open court. If you become victimized by the the abuse of the Domestic Violence Protective Order process, you can seek the advice and representation of an attorney to explore your options for getting the short-term protective order dissolved and preventing the entry of a long-term protective order. The attorneys at Burglin & Doxey, PC have a combined fifty years of experience in representing clients in matters such as Domestic Violence Protective Order defense. Give us a call today!
