Re: Domesticating Foreign Jurisdiction

Your post does not seem to be a request for advice as much a request for immediate help. Contact me immediately on getting this, regardless the hour. Try my office # first -- 423-267-4391, and if you get the answering machine leave a message AND then try again at 423-267-4393 (that line will either get a person or will not be answered). I repeat, call at ANY HOUR. If you get no answer at either #, try my cell phone at 423-635-2068
