REAL STORIES. REAL SUPPORT.
“Had Joseph and his team overlooking my long and unusual case (7 years) and Joseph did an excellent job settling my file in mediation with very satisfactory numbers. Most importantly, we had settled the file after 7 long years of ups and downs. I highly recommend Zayouna Law Firm to handle vour needs! Give them a call and go meet with Joseph, you have nothing to lose!”
“I am so glad I was introduced from a friend to Zayouna Law Firm! They’re unbelievably awesome!! I am very happy with all their help and efforts. Special thanks to Nadia who’s help is endless from start to finished! God Bless you all!”
“Very professional team of lawyers and clerks. They took the time to explain to me the law and the process. Their vast experience in personal injury law is evident in their dealings with all parties.”
“Zayouna Law Firm will fight on your behalf to obtain fair and just compensation for your sustained injury. Their lawyers are highly skilled, experienced in their field and most importantly they care, and provide the personal touch at all times to help guide you through a most challenging period of your life. They are there to help you in every step of the way. I strongly suggest you reach out to them to discuss your specific needs and to receive their advice and guidance. I highly recommend Zayouna Law Firm.”
“I have known Samiya Ahmad for many years and I can say, without a doubt, that she is an excellent lawyer with fantastic intuition and a genuine desire to promote the well being of her clients. In my opinion this is exactly what you should look for in a lawyer, someone with not just a degree, but rather an individual who has excellent legal skills and is able to apply them in a practical and passionate manner. In a marketplace with so many mixed messages and (unfortunately) unreliable service providers, I am glad that lawyers such as Samiya exist as an exception from the rule.”
“Like most MVA’s, litigation takes a long time. Joe and his team were great in all aspects of our representation, communication, follow ups, replies, and transparency over this extended period of time. Heaven forbid, if I did have another MVA that required a lawyer, this is the team I would choose to protect us.”
“Zayouna Law Firm is a very professional firm with kind, welcoming and understanding team. Very happy and satisfied that I have chosen them to represent me. Highly recommended.”
“Joseph and team were very professional and on top of every situation that arose. Joseph is a very kind and understanding Lawyer. We appreciate all that he did for us. Thank you is not enough for what Joseph has done for us. Once again, Thank you Joseph and team.”
Common Questions About SHAREHOLDERS AND CORPORATE DISPUTES
I am a shareholder and I have a dispute with another shareholder, what rights do I have at law?
Shareholders have different rights including the right to the oppression remedy. The oppression remedy is commonly referred to as the ‘broadest’ shareholder remedy in the common law world. The Court has wide jurisdiction to address grievances of a shareholder, including ordering compensation, compelling purchase/sale of shares, compelling a certain action, etc…
One of our company’s directors recently left our company used our company’s resources to open up a competing business and usurp all our clients, what are our rights?
At law, directors and officers have special duties to their corporations including a fiduciary duty and the duty of care. This means, among other things that directors have a duty to act honestly and in good faith towards the corporation, a duty to avoid conflicts of interest with the corporation and a duty not to abuse their position to gain personal benefit. At Zayouna, we regularly represent shareholders, directors and corporation to prosecute/defend claims regarding directors’ duties.
