My dad got served with court papers where a creditor is suing him. He is out of the country for 6 months, and I let the person know. Currently, the records online say 'Citation Returned Unserved OCA Inactive.' What does this mean? Would a judgment be automatically filed against him while he is out? Should we hire a lawyer, and if so, how do we find a reputable one?

We signed a contract with a pool company in July, and work started on August 17th. The contract states that 'all work will be completed in a timely and professional manner.' As of today, several tasks including deck completion, electric hookup, equipment installation, plastering, and sodding are still pending. We paid for deck completion and equipment installation on January 21st. We have received several promises from the company that the pool would be done by February 15th. We sent a certified letter on Monday giving them until March 12th to finish the pool completely and without defect, or we will seek legal advice. Do we have a case, and is it worth fighting?

My mother, who is the majority owner of our S-Corp company, had a stroke and is unable to handle business matters. My father has power of attorney for her, but I've managed the business for over 10 years. I need to represent our business interests, especially in potential litigation and when communicating with stakeholders. What legal document will be needed for me to legally represent our business interests?

I am launching multiple social impact mobile/web apps under one company. My entity is Delaware-based but operates in Florida. I am confused about whether I need to launch a holding company or use the operating entity for this purpose. We currently need to secure IP and trademarks but are unsure about the holding company's necessity. Our business model is similar to a game studio, where we release multiple titles under our company. We are a small enterprise and want to keep things cost-effective. How should we structure our company to protect our assets and liability?
