Freedom Friday Blog

Well, its another holiday season, and many business owners are planning for 2022.  It is also the season for charitable giving, but someone more entrepreneurial might be interested in planning something else in the new year --- every year, at least once or twice, I give consultations to individuals or groups interested...

In last week's Freedom Friday blog and email newsletter I talked about how to start an online business in 2022, and one of the things I talked about was choosing a business entity.   I've blogged and talked about this as the most crucial step in starting any kind of business in Oklahoma. ...

It's the holiday season, and the beginning of the end of the year, and many people are thinking about what they are going to be doing in 2022.  I know I am thinking about that,  but that's a different story.  Something that some people might be thinking about, is how they can...

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day and Friday is Black Friday, so we are coming to you a few days earlier with this week's blog and email newsletter.  Instead of focusing on a business topic as we usually do, I want to answer a personal question, and that is “Why am I thankful for...

In today's Freedom Friday blog and email newsletter, I want to answer an often unasked, but important question.  I have been getting a lot of business litigation inquiries lately.  Most of them involve a prospective client whose business is owed money by a customer or other entity which has breached a contract...

In today's Freedom Friday blog and email newsletter, I want to answer a question that I don't get from a lot of clients, but honestly, a lot of clients are afraid to ask this question, too.  That question is, “How can get out of this bad contract?”  Or, put another way, “How...

Although Liberty Legal Solutions, LLC, focuses on business law and civil litigation services, I get a lot of inquiries about wills, and even more about trusts.  While there are other lawyers out there who focus exclusively (and expensively) on estate planning, it's almost expected in Oklahoma that if you have a business...

In today's Freedom Friday blog and email newsletter, we're once again going to answer one of those questions that are maybe less frequently asked, and that is, “Why does your small business need a buy-sell agreement?”  Now, first of all, if you're a solopreneur, or the only owner of your small business,...

Have you ever heard the saying, “Caveat emptor, let the buyer beware”?  I've heard that saying all my life, usually regarding the claims of products which might not produce the result I was looking for.  This is why you need to be cautious if you're buying a house and its being sold...

Before I get into this week's Freedom Friday blog and email newsletter, I apologize that we did not have an issue released last Friday.  My wife and I have been recovering from Covid, which has slowed down a number of projects.  We are doing much better, though, and we appreciate your thoughts...
