Decades of Business Experience

I, Carl Person, have been engaged in business and the running of my own businesses (including my practice of law) for 40 years. There is a difference between receiving a paycheck and being responsible for seeing that there are sufficient funds to provide regular paychecks to others. This difference enables me to understand many of the problems being experienced by prospective clients, mainly because I have already dealt with many of such problems myself, and have already thought through some of the ways to deal with such problems.

Unpaid Wages (FLSA/State), Small Businesses, Subprime/Variable-Rate Mortgage Foreclosures

Most attorneys in major law firms have had no business experience and for them, I believe, it is more difficult to fully understand some of the problems of the firm's business clients or clients suing a business. This business experience is also useful in understanding the problems for (i) small businesses when they are sued (such as in trademark, copyright enforcement and breach-of-contract actions), (ii) employees of major companies or governmental agencies when the employees (sometimes including executives, professionals, administrators, managers, partners and programmers) are denied the full amount of overtime pay or the wages for required preparation or end-of-day time under the Federal Labor Standards Act of 1938 and/or state law; and (iii) homeowners when threatened with the loss of their homes through foreclosure proceedings concerning variable or subprime mortgages (giving rise to issues such as lender's liability, fraud and constructive knowledge of fraudulent broker practices).

I am interested in representing clients in the above types of litigation.

Trademark, Copyright, Contract, Fraud, Securities, Antitrust and Other Business Litigation

I have had more than 40 years of experience in business litigation, including copyright, trademark and patent infringement; theft of screenplay, toy, game and TV show ideas; bank and wire fraud, RICO, securities fraud, consumer fraud, securities fraud, stock manipulation, false advertising, unfair competition, bribery, unfair labor practices, credit card fraud, loss or denial of business or professional licensing.

I am interested in representing clients in the above types of litigation.

Defense of Copyright and Trademark Actions to Recover Huge Amounts of "Statutory Damages" and Legal Fees

There are various defenses that should be considered in this type of infringement action for statutory damages. Call me and I'll outline many of them for you.

Civil Rights Actions Arising Out of Abusive Criminal Procedures

Also, I am interested in handling civil cases to recover for police brutality, illegal search and seizure, malicious prosecution, false imprisonment and wrongful conviction, and other denial of rights guaranteed by the United States or New York Constitution.

My initial discussion with prospective clients is without charge.
