The cornerstone of every business agreement is the contract. When properly written, a contract can serve to advance the interests of the parties and keep them out of litigation. While it is impossible to foresee every circumstance that may arise in a business relationship, many of the common problems which often lead to litigation can be prevented with a good attorney whom can anticipate the roadmap of issues that a business may face at the beginning of a transaction, and draft a contract that avoids many of the pitfalls that can often arise. Employing an attorney who has a strong business background with an eye toward litigation is a valuable asset for any business owner. As an attorney with both a strong business and legal background, Mr. La Spina can review business and employment transactions for his clients with the objective of client profits while at the same time employing methods steered toward keeping his clients out of litigation.

Many people have a host of unrelated legal questions at one time. They may deal with litigation, business transactions, insurance questions, asset protection concerns, or even legal questions that may affect financial planning matters. Often times these people avoid talking to an attorney about their concerns because they may have questions that touch on several different areas of law and don’t know whom to turn to. Because Mr. La Spina is a general civil practitioner, he can often answer many of a person’s questions in one consultation, depending on the nature of the questions. If you have general business, employment, insurance, family or litigation type questions, it may be that a simple consultation is all that you need without committing yourself further legally or financially.
