How David negotiated better lease agreements during COVID for a fashion business in New Jersey

I own three high-end men’s clothing stores in New Jersey. Two of them are in Hoboken and one is in Red Bank. My brand is called Oran Apparel. David helped me to get through the whole COVID situation. I feel like he treats every client as family. When the retail business closed because of COVID, my leases were expiring. I had to renegotiate with three landlords better terms of leases. I could not pay during the break and David helped to make sure I got what I wanted. I like to talk to David before I make any business move. He has a lot...

How David was a calming presence in a room with five lawyers and angry ex-partners

Posted by svyrydov

in Uncategorized

Nobody likes lawsuits. But David was such a professional. The way he broke everything down, just wow. He was a calming presence in a stressful period. I started a fintech company with other guys in Florida. It went well before it did not. Things didn't work out. In the end it was a very hostile and nasty situation. There was a conflict between the partners. We had an operating agreement and there were investors. David turned the agreement into a favorable situation for me. He worked his butt off, and the other lawyers were lazy. I was potentially going to lose a lot...

How David prevented a client from losing a home because of a greedy broker

After we had a new child, my wife and I decided to sell our house in New Jersey and buy a house with an extra bedroom and an extra bathroom. We were upgrading and needed extra space. David was our attorney. We had multiple buyers at first, but the buyer we chose was a tough negotiator. After the inspection he wanted major repairs, like a new roof (even though it was a perfectly fine roof, it was not leaking or anything). The buyer wanted us to pay for a new chimney, and it is a structural thing. He made claims about...

My name is Marine, and David spent five years helping me become a US permanent resident. I used to live in Paris and Nice. I came to New York City to study graphic design. I met my husband while being on a student visa. My husband is a musician and a computer programmer. His mother is French, but he is American. We got married and we applied for a green card. I was nervous, but the interview with US immigration service went fine, I got my conditional green card and then my permanent green card. David prepared us for the interview and...

How David helped set up a start up, contracts, shareholder agreements, manage investors and finally sell the company for big bucks

I am an entrepreneur and came up with a start-up that sets up car lease exchange - like a rentbreak, but for vehicles. I met David at an event in New York City and I chose him as my lawyer. He set up all the company documents. I sat with him and we talked about how I want to manage the company, how I planned to get investment and eventually sell the company. The original company was an LLC. It was a partnership, so I had to make sure everybody’s shares were represented equitably in the contract. David created an operating membership...

How I was sued for being on a school board. David protected my assets and closed a real estate deal on December 31st

Posted by svyrydov

My three kids went to a private school. The school got into a lot of financial trouble. I was asked to join the board assuming that I would not have any financial responsibilities. I thought that I would just help get the school back on its feet and organized. But I couldn’t. Things didn't go well. I was sued because the school didn’t have the funds to pay the teachers. My personal assets were under risk. There was an attorney the school hired, but he did not do a good job and ended up just pissing everybody off. More teachers were...

They played with us: Russian immigrant spoke about the most stressful moment at green card interview

Posted by svyrydov

in Uncategorized

Studying in America is my childhood dream, which I decided to fulfill after graduating from Russia. I am from Omsk. Having made up my mind, I chose a college and applied to the embassy. Then there were no problems with the opening of nonimmigrant visas, as now. Arriving in the USA, I was faced with the fact that I did not have enough money to pay for my studies. I had to transfer to another college, less expensive. I moved to New York, studied, and worked part-time. Once I flew to my friends in California, where I met my future wife. We were...
