[WSBARP] Off Topic Referral Needed for Partnership Dissociation & Buyout of Interest

[Jim Doran]

Hello:

I did not get any response to this email last week.  Are there any
attorney's who are interested in this case?

I have a potential client (PC) who needs help from a strong law firm with a
dissociation of a partnership and the determination of the value of the
buyout of the dissociated partner's interest.  This is a restaurant in
Bellingham that opened less than a year ago but has been doing incredibly
well.  Over $800,000 in revenue in less than one year.

I would say that the facts are somewhat complicated, but aren't they
always?  There are documents that show her ownership in the partnership.
The tricky part is what appears to be embezzlement of substantial funds
from the partnership by the "majority" partner.  The PC has the records of
all purchases through an internet app.  She has most if not all of the
regular expenses documented.  There is at least a $70,000 gap.  Where did
the money go???

There are also episodes of assault and even a battery by the "majority"
partner against the somewhat diminutive PC.  She has since left working as
the manager of the Restaurant and has made an informal request to have her
interest int he partnership bought out.  All she gets is a bully response
without a substantial reason.  No funds have been offered and the
"majority" partner has created some books to make it look like there is no
value in the partnership.  Something is fishy.

The PC needs a firm that is willing to work on this with reliance on the
RCW 25.05.250 (9) provision for attorney's fees and with a contingent
interest in the case.  PC does not have the funds to promote the case.  She
needs a tough attorney.  She needs to start with the dissociated partner
process in RCW 25.05, et seq.

Any suggestions will be explored all the way from Bellingham to Tacoma.

Thank you.
