Most Frequently Requested Legal Issues Explained

Tracy A. Cinocca Posted on August 4, 2016 by Tracy CinoccaJuly 30, 2023

In almost two decades of questions from the public at large, I have determined the top five issues people have that compel them to contact an attorney, & created a video for each. 5. Injuries. The public at large is concerned as it should be about what to do if injured. The answer to this question varies greatly depending on the facts and circumstances of your injury. We created a general video to talk about the large umbrella called “tort” law. What might be a tort and what may not be a tort? Could you have a claim? We recommend before contacting an attorney, if you are unsure, think about safety. Did someone fail to keep premises safe? You may already know the area of tort such as an automobile accident or a slip and fall. But what about a child who jumps on an oil rig and his leg … Continue reading →

The Psychology of Litigation: Diagnostic & Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders

Tracy A. Cinocca Posted on June 15, 2016 by Tracy CinoccaAugust 5, 2016

Going to court can bring out stress. People do not always behave their best and it is usually one of the worst periods in a person’s life. Whether your lawsuit is against a formerspouse, employer, business partner, or another, it is not unusual for the pressure to push someone into an uncharacteristic mental state. This is what our blog series on the “Psychology of Litigation” addresses. Major stress factors in life include emotionally charged situations or big life changes. This includes Litigation. (See Holmes and Rahe’s (1967) Social Readjustment Ratings Scale here). Litigants should be prepared for the mental stress of Litigation and ready to run the Litigation course long term, if necessary. How different people deal with situational distress caused by litigation can be affected by whether they have a mental condition – diagnosed or not. If mentally healthy people suffer such distress, then imagine the different types of reactions … Continue reading →

The End… of Your Business Partnership

Tracy A. Cinocca Posted on May 4, 2016 by Tracy CinoccaAugust 5, 2016

The End …. of Your Business Partnership Breaking up is hard to do. Like marriages, business relationships sometimes break up. When ending a business relationship there are several questions you will need to answer: 1. What type of business is it? How is it formed with the Oklahoma Secretary of State? Or, is it a a partnership? Limited or General? ex: Limited Liability Company (LLC); C Corporation; Sub Chapter S Corporation; Partnership; Limited Partnership, Etc. 2. Do you have a written agreement or formation document? -If YES: Review that agreement with an attorney and make a plan for how to proceed. -If NO: There may be default statutes in place that effect your type of business organization on how to handle a break up. 3. Do all parties agree with the accounting, and is it up to date? -If NO: A plan to do this is required. 4. Is your business breakup amicable? -If … Continue reading →

How to Choose a Lawyer Video

Tracy A. Cinocca Posted on April 25, 2016 by Tracy CinoccaAugust 5, 2016

The first video I made several years ago is called “How to Choose A Lawyer.” Here is what I said which still applies.  First, you want to make sure that your attorney is qualified. Second, you want to see if you like the attorney’s personality and if you think they’re a good match for you. Third, you want to look at their business practices and procedures. Fourth, you want to have a feeling you can trust your attorney to do the right thing for you when you aren’t there. ARE THEY QUALIFIED? Choosing a lawyer can be a difficult and maybe overwhelming experience. There are so many choices and so many options. Of course you want your attorney to be qualified. You need to have an attorney who is qualified in the area of law, that your issue is in. Try to know and try to understand what area of law it is … Continue reading →

What To Do If You Are Being Treated Unfairly at Work?

Tracy A. Cinocca Posted on April 20, 2016 by Tracy CinoccaAugust 5, 2016

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT- What To Do If You Are Being Treated Unfairly at Work One of the biggest complaints I hear is when an employee is upset with their employment situation because they feel they are being singled out or are not being treated fairly in the workplace – typically by a supervisor or co-worker. This is especially intolerable to long-term employees, those retaliated against for whistle blowing, or engaging in some other right protected by public policy. It is also especially intolerable when it is overt, ongoing, and continuous. It is important to understand that Oklahoma is a state where you can be hired and fired at any time, for almost any reason, EXCEPT in circumstances such as: Age (if over 40) Race Color Sex Religion National Origin Disability Pregnancy Genetic Information Retaliation and/or Whistle blowing *May not apply to government workers, workers under contract, labor union agreements, or other groups because different laws, rules, or … Continue reading →

Starting a New Business for Beginners!

Tracy A. Cinocca Posted on July 2, 2015 by Tracy CinoccaAugust 5, 2016

     Recently, I shot a video called “Breaking Up is Hard to Do.” It is about the end of business relationships. However, everyone on my team wanted me to shoot a video on how to start a business instead! Starting a new business is such an area of intrigue for so many. Instead of shooting a video on on how to start a new business at this time, I wrote this blog on it. Maybe I will make a video later, too!    There are many articles, meetings, education classes, and self help books. Resources abound. But, in the most simple, purest, and essential form, I will tell you here the best advice for starting your own business. This advice is based on my experience, education, countless business consultations, management, and litigation on business start ups and partnerships disputes. It is not hard advice and most of it is … Continue reading →

Employment Agreements Explained

Tracy A. Cinocca Posted on July 22, 2010 by Tracy CinoccaAugust 5, 2016

Employment Agreements Explained Confusion tends to exist among people about what constitutes an agreement. An agreement does not necessarily have to be in writing. It can also be oral. However, in the employment context, most employment relationships are not based on a written contract. An employee can be hired and fired at-will for any reason in this state that does not violate discrimination, retaliation or other similar statutes. “Under the American common-law rule, when the length of the master/servant relationship is unspecified by contract, either the employer or employee can terminate the employment without liability.” Without a written agreement specifying otherwise, employment can be terminated by either party at any time. In some states, this doctrine has been modified by exceptions that restrict the grounds for termination. The exceptions generally rest on three distinct theories: (a) Public policy tort, (b) Tortious breach of an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing … Continue reading →
