making a gaming business, and we need a lawyer, problem is I’m 17, i got a couple of 18 year olds working with us though.
Anyway I’m wondering how do i go about hiring a lawyer i know i’ll need my parents present Cheap Cialis Online Without Prescription for this. how much would the cost be? how do i pay him?
Are you getting paid for your games?? Keep GOOD records of the income and expenses of your "business". If it gets too complicated, you may need to hire a CPA.
Poster VicSEO is correct. Your parents are going to have to run interference on this until you are 18. Are the 18 yr olds working with you getting paid? Are they employees? You may need to hire a CPA.
ALSO>>> Call your local (usually county) bar association. Ask them for names of lawyers that handle your type of matter (IP).
When you call the law office(s), insist on speaking with the Attorney. Do not tell all the little details of your matter to the Secretary – save the details for the Lawyer. When you get the Attorney on the phoneline, ask him/her:
-Do they give FREE, initial consultations?
-How much do they charge?
-Do they accept payments on their accounts?
-Can they help you? OR Refer you to someone who can help you?
Good luck.
Because you are a minor, your parents will be responsible for hiring and paying for an lawyer. You should be looking for an IP [intellectual property] attorney who has experience in patenting any games you may develop with a "couple of 18 year olds."
Good luck!
