Legal Question in Business Law in Texas
I own a company in Tx and sell gift certificates. I have someone threatening to sue because they want their money back on the gift cert. On the gift cert it clearly states not redeemable for cash. value not to exceed $$. Does this cover me so I cant be sued?
1 Answer from Attorneys
This is what I do, I am a commercial lawyer, and NOTHING you write or say can completely protect you from a suit. Simple answer.
But the next question is important, CAN YOU WIN THE LAW SUIT. That is the killer question.
Beyond that I need more information and facts. If you want to call me, then see below (resume/coverletter)

POTENTIAL EMPLOYMENT
Your position and my background our opportunity.
I am truly excited about your available position. I think we can do good things for each other and develop a mutually beneficial relationship. I have an extensive legal background in many diverse areas. My equally extensive business / commercial and entrepreneurial background has given me a rare insight in the merged area where business and law come together. As of counsel for major law firms, as an independent contract attorney in special matters, and while representing individual clients, I have been a critical component for many commercial entities and projects. My skill as a negotiator, have often been the critical component of the resolution process. Because of my diverse legal reach, in house, of counsel, and special counsel I have developed an expertise in all forms of civil litigation�as well as, law office management, collection matters, bankruptcy issues and execution of judgments. Being able to hit the ground running, knowing what to do and how to succeed, and using a variety of skills has made all of the difference in both legal and business activities. I have vast amounts of experience in corporate representation, and some portable clients.
Lets begin now
I am currently open to work as in a legal/ business//consulting/ environment, as well as on a contract, or in house, of counsel basis. Having been engaged in the areas of general civil litigation, business law, corporate formation, merger and acquisition - contract disputes, and some general related areas - insurance, bankruptcy, collections my expertise has encompassed a wide range that I can now offer to you.
Accomplishments that could work for you
Large firms, as well as commercial enterprises are becoming today more entrepreneurial. I can be a critical asset in developing and serving all types of business entities and individual commercial activities, recognizing that without these skills they cannot be successful or operational in today�s fast and changing legal landscape I understand how to navigate this complex and ever changing legal/ business environment.
I understand it because I have real world experience, prior to being a lawyer, I myself, was a successful business operator. I was vice president of an international design, and furniture company, and this has provided me with a broad range of knowledge in international law, international finance.
Recognizing early on the merging of law, business and finance, was the future, I have gone further than the ordinary attorney, who you might consider, and I have earned an LLM international law and finance.
Both legal knowledge and business knowledge that you can draw from
I have a vast knowledge of the integral parts of commercial activities, including but not limited to law office management, real estate, commercial contract, general litigation, insurance, banking regulation, and employee/employer relations. I have been able to take a mere idea, and turn that idea into a successful business entity. I have been able to navigate and negotiate long term business contracts and relationships and all that relates to that relationship.
As an entrepreneur, I was vice president of an international design, and furniture company, and this has provided me with a broad range of actual knowledge in international law, international
finance and the interworking�s of lending, and collecting monies due.I hope that you will consider this material, and contact me for further information.
