        Professionalism is the Word

        I highly Recommend Gibson & Perkins.  I have used their services for approximately 6 years now and been through a few cases together with very positive outcomes.  Personally, I have used Paul Fellman and Walter Timby on those occasions.  Both, as a team & separately these Attorneys were wonderful to work with and easily accessible to reach if I had any questions.  Professionalism is the word that comes to mind to describe the firm, as a whole.  Always completely prepared for any surprises that may pop up during a trial.  They were well versed on all pertinent info pertaining to each case.  As I client, I always felt I was an integral part of the team, not an after-thought, that had to be brought up to speed a half hour before the trial started.  I could not recommend this firm and Mr. Fellman and Mr. Timby any higher.

        Very Satisfied

        I hired Paul Fellman after speeking to several different lawyers from different law firms because he was the most sincere. Paul did an excellent job on my landlord tenant issue I had on my rental property. He was there for me from the beginning to the end of the whole ordeal. I was very satisfied and I highly recommend him and his firm.

        Question:

        In Delaware County, what happens if the majority shareholder is splitting from a business partner?

        Answer:

        As a knowledgeable Delaware County Business Attorney, I get questions all the time from clients about majority shareholder wanting to break up with their business partner. If I’m the majority owner of a company, I have control and control is key. It means that I have voting privileges either by way of a stock corporation agreement, a membership agreement, or a partnership agreement previously agreed with my other partner.

        The established agreement determines the way we’re going to run the company. This is often done by the majority vote. It can be set up by corporation officers and directors. The individual who controls the majority controls the future of the company.

        If there’s an agreement in place, the individual who has control can implement the agreement and say, “ I have XYZ percentage of control and you do not. We’ve decided that now that your shares are going to be valued and you’re going to be exiting from the company.”

        When this happens, the issue becomes, “How do I value the shares and then move into the valuation process?”

        This could be by the way of the agreement we’ve entered into during the course of the year, or it could be by a third party appraisal, either through the value of the company by an appraiser agreement or some other formula that’s set forth in our agreements.
