It's only a matter of time before every business encounters a small matter such as a UCC filing or an unemployment compensation appeal. Most business-focused law firms refuse to offer services in these areas because the work is not as lucrative as their core services. In addition, many clients never bother to seek legal advice in these areas because the costs outweigh the benefits for both parties. Regrettably, even though a small administrative matter, if not handled correctly, some of these matters develop into considerable problems.

Artell Law Group prides itself upon being a firm that will roll up its sleeves in the interest of its core group business clients and will handle administrative matters such as UCC filings and unemployment compensation appeals. We handle these matters on economical fixed rate schedules for otherwise hourly clients or as part of the global services we provide to our fixed fee clients. Thus, our clients easily can perform a costs versus benefits analysis before proceeding on administrative matters that have the potential to become significant litigation issues.

We work closely with each of our clients through all stages of their business life to help the business and its owners achieve their business objectives. The types of clients we typically represent are:

• Limited Liability Companies (multi-member and single member disregarded entities)
