Legal Question in Business Law in New York

Re: LLC Property

Oh, geez, what a mess. Business breakups are as bad as divorces. This one sounds worse.

You must be really angry at your partner to be thinking about having him arrested. Calm down. This is nothing more nor less than a business deal gone sour; it is NOT the end of the world (though it probably is the end of a friendship).

You say your partner took the signs from the customer's site without your permission, but you are refusing him access to signage that you acknowledge to be his. That's just a pissing contest. I presume it's not the only one going on at this point.

The police do not need to be involved in a business breakup, but each of you does need a lawyer to represent your interests. You each should hire someone local to you. Yes, this is business for TWO lawyers.

You will also need the services of an accountant to determine the distribution of business assets. You'll need only one accountant.

Business breakups happen and the earth still spins on its axis and revolves around the sun notwithstanding. The sooner you two stop the pissing contests and hire the professionals to deal with the legalities & accounting of the breakup and forced closing of the business, the sooner you'll be able to get over it and move on.
