 We've all received robocalls. They're annoying, irritating, and more than that, they're illegal. If you're receiving unwanted calls or solicitations from a business then you might be able to receive compensation. That's where a consumer protection attorney like Jared Lee comes in. 

This week Jordan and Jared sat down and discussed some of the ways consumers can be targeted by companies who would wish them harm. They also discuss how businesses can make sure they're doing what is right when it comes to protecting their clients' data and personal information.

There are areas where a small business owner needs to make sure they're following the law, and you need to know what they are before you make a mistake that could lead to a lawsuit. Jared is an attorney who can help.

Jared is the Managing Partner at Jackson Lee | PA, joining forces with his wife after a stellar career at one of the most prominent plaintiff’s firms in the nation.  He’s done ridiculously impressive things like served as the chair of Florida’s Consumer Protection Committee and completed a 70.3 Ironman, but hasn't yet convinced a college football referee to change a horribly bad call. This has not prevented him from vocally expressing his opinions on such calls at games. No one can deny his commitment to pursuing what is right. This is what makes him an outstanding consumer protection attorney.

Long before the beard, Jared attended Florida State College of Law (Go Noles!), where he made a commitment to use his legal education to help people. That quest led him to a brief stint as a public defender before he discovered his true passion in consumer protection law. Since that time, he’s had the privilege to represent consumers in obtaining sizable recoveries through trial, arbitration, and settlement, including multiple seven-figure outcomes.  He’s also become the father to four (you read that right!) spunky daughters.

 Images rule the world. A good photograph can capture more meaning and thought than the longest novel or blog post. Visually creative people are needed to make sure that companies and individuals can tell the stories they want to in a way that reaches their clients and customers and envokes a feeling or emotion.

Kadeem Stewart of Shot by 3D Photography is one of the people who captures the look that his clients are trying for. His unique eye and artistic nature are why companies like Lockheed continue to hire him to shoot their corporate events and on-location shoots.

In this week's episode, Kadeem sits down with partner Heather Trick to discuss his work, how he got into photography, and why he still lives in Orlando, even though he works in LA, New York, New Orleans and anywhere else a client might need him.

Kadeem '3D' Stewart, is a Jamaican-American, visual artist, originally from New York but now based in Orlando. He finds his inspiration in the world and all its beauties, from the innocence and nostalgia of 90's cartoons to the raw and rebellious nature of graffiti and street art.

His Caribbean heritage and New York background have been instrumental in his development as a photographer. The "melting pot"  exposure drives Kadeem to capture the vast beauty the world has to offer.

Aspiring to inspire creativity through that of his art is one of the drives behind Mr. Stewart's work. His aim is to be remembered not for the visuals left behind, but for the individuals that will bring about more art or world change after encountering his work.

Understanding how to determine the value of a company is important, and figuring out if there are any hidden values or pitfalls in the company you're considering is what helps her stand apart from others in her line of business.

 Interrupting our normal way of doing things, and because the editing process takes longer than you'd think, this week we're changing up our normal interviews and handing you the talk our Marketing Director, Mark Miller, gave a couple of months back on Copyright.

Now you wouldn't think that a Marketing Director would know a lot about copyright and trademark laws, and admittedly what Mark knows is just the tip of the iceberg compared to a good IP attorney, but he still knows quite a bit. When you're creating content you have to know what you can and can't use when you're creating a new website.

So if you have a question about whether you can use that image or not, or if you just copied something from Wikipedia to use on your latest blog post, then pause for a moment and have a listen to what Mark has to say.

Of course, if you have actually received a Takedown Notice, Cease & Desist, or other legal notification about something you're using to market your company, then contact us. Our attorneys can take a look at your issue and advise you on the best way to handle your issue.
