ATLANTA BUSINESS AND CONSTRUCTION ATTORNEYS – GEORGIA HAS NEW LIEN LAWS
As Atlanta construction litigation attorneys and Atlanta Business attorneys alike, I know that one of the most important tools for contractors and subcontractors looking to protect their rights and ensure payment on a building or construction project is a lien. I also recognize that nothing is more frustrating to a new homeowner or property owner than an improperly filed lien, or an unexpected lien filed by a subcontractor after the property owner believes everyone has been paid.
The Georgia Legislature has recently made subtle but significant changes to the lien laws in Georgia. These changes state when and how a lien must be filed, how it can be removed, and how the lien may be enforced.
Several years ago, the law was changed to state that only attorneys may file liens. However, even Georgia real estate and construction attorneys may not be familiar with these changes and the various statutory requirements and “hoops” one must “jump through” to have a valid lien on file in the property records. Consequently, it is very important to consult Atlanta Construction Lawyers very familiar with lien laws in general, and the new changes in particular, if you are a contractor, subcontractor, or supplier looking to protect your rights, or if you are a property owner looking to challenge a lien.
In this ever-changing real estate and construction market, it is increasingly important to protect your hard work and your real property investment. This is why you must choose Atlanta real estate, construction, and business attorneys who understand the complexity of these revised lien laws and who can advise you on how to protect your business, your hard work, as well as your investment.

PRUDENTLY, PROFITABLY AND LEGALLY DOING BUSINESS IN GEORGIA – BE CAREFUL OF THE MANY TEMPTATIONS AND PITFALLS OF “BEING YOUR OWN LAWYER”
One of the most important services an experience Georgia business lawyer can offer you and your business is knowledge, expertise, personalized legal guidance, and greatly increased chances your GA business will be successful, profitable and sustainable. Lawyers, unlike legal document services, know the problems encountered by GA businesses similar to yours, the GA state and federal courts and the government agencies you will inevitably interact with and the consequences a minor mistake or careless assumption may cause. These consequences can be costly, permanent, or even fatal to your business and your personal finances and welfare. As an experienced business lawyer in GA, I have found many of these problematic business situations arise out of faulty legal documents, improper business contracts, agreements or transactions. These are just some of the compelling reasons you should consider hiring a GA business lawyer to assist and guide you in your business dealings.
Moreover, if your business is successful, the chances are good that you will need a good GA business lawyer again. Our Firm receives repeat Georgia business referrals constantly from clients who I have helped start their own Georgia business, and who later found that they needed other legal services, like reviewing a Georgia lease or taking their business to the next level of growth and profitability. In contrast, I also receive a large number of referrals from business owners send troubled colleagues my way so for resolution of a Georgia business dispute which otherwise could have been avoided had these business owners taken the time to get their businesses off to a good start with proper legal representation. I firmly believe, and have seen time and time again, that it is commonplace prudent business judgment for business owners and entrepreneurs alike to seek the services an experienced GA business lawyer. These services are invaluable and should at the very least, be considered.
A short list of the benefits a GA business lawyer can provide are as follows:
• Advice on which business entity is best for your situation and the best family or friends to involve;
• How to run your business and keep your books in order to get the maximum benefits from incorporation and avoid personal liability by another party “Piercing the Corporate Veil” and being able to access your personal assets for collection on any judgment against you or your corporation;
• An honest discussion of legal liability for the business and for you as an individual;

FIND THE BEST ATLANTA BUSINESS AND CONSTRUCTION ATTORNEYS TO ADVISE YOU ON CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES, BUILDERS, SUB-CONTRACTORS AND THEIR LIABILITY FOR REAL ESTATE AND CONSTRUCTION CLAIMS
As an Atlanta construction litigation and arbitration attorney, the initial question I have in any new case is, who is potentially liable for the claims in this matter? The business and construction litigation attorneys at my Firm often discuss Georgia construction claims, piercing the corporate veil, who is liable and how do we collect from them in order to make our clients “whole”. We want you to know the following:
If you are the owner who just bought a new property and want to bring claims for defective construction against the builder in the Metro Atlanta area, you are going to want to know who may be liable for your damages, and equally as important, from whom will you be able to recover. Conversely, if you are an Atlanta area contractor, subcontractor, or other construction professional who has been sued, you will want to analyze your exposure: who is at risk and for how much?
In my experience as a Georgia construction litigation and arbitration attorney, people, including attorneys who do not commonly handle construction cases, answer these questions by looking to the construction company. Many people assume that if the company is incorporated, the individuals who own and work for the company are protected from any liability.
Under Georgia law, however, there are numerous ways that an officer or employee of a corporation may be personally liable for claims raised in a construction suit. These can be powerful weapons in construction litigation. It is critical that any person involved in these suits, whether as plaintiffs or defendants, be aware of these potential claims and, more importantly, hire an attorney who knows and understands these issues. Our Atlanta business litigation attorneys will analyze what is known as “piercing the corporate veil”. This legal tactic allows Atlanta business, construction and arbitration attorneys to recover monies from builders and contractors who have not run their company properly.
The Adams Law Offices helps individuals, homeowners, businesses, builders, contractors and construction companies in real estate litigation in Georgia construction arbitration, real estate disputes as well as other related legal matters.

Grey's Anatomy NOT so grey anymore
I'd heard long ago about the "hate" word Isaiah Washington spewed about his costar T.R. Knight and his denial at the Golden Globes. I'd heard about how back in January the Disney Channel had said it was "Unacceptable". Yet I believed they were treating his comments as a "grey" area (not black or white--meaning they would do NOTHING about it) and had done nothing about it for months. So, I was delighted when I heard Disney had fired Washington last week.
Hurray for Hollywood (and Mickey too!).
While I liked the character Washington played (and I've watched Grey's Anatomy since it began), I certainly didn't like what I heard about him. And NOW Washington is saying he was fired because of racism.
The Associated Press reported Washington said:
"My mistake was believing that I would get the support from my network and all of my cast mates across the board. My mistake was believing I could correct a wrong with honesty and sincerity, " he said in the interview posted online Thursday.
"My mistake was thinking black people get second chances. I was wrong on all fronts, " he said. "Well, it didn't help me on the set that I was a black man who wasn't a mush-mouth Negro walking around with his head in his hands all the time. I didn't speak like I'd just left the plantation and that can be a problem for people sometime, " he said.
Let me tell you Mr. Washington:
Your mistake was believing that because you are part of a minority you can say whatever the hell you want about ANOTHER minority.
Your mistake was LYING to the American public instead of offering an apology upfront.
Your mistake was thinking that once you apologized, it's would make it all better.
Your mistake was believing that since you're a star, your sh*t didn't stink!
Your mistake is TRYING to make people believe your firing was based on racism!
