		<title>What lien rights do I have as a commercial sub-contractor?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The short answer is potentially a fair amount of rights, though as with many things it depends. In general residential work, the main mechanism for enforcing payment for both general contractors and sub-contractors is through the use of construction liens.

		<title>What do I do if I have been sued with a frivolous claim?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The dreaded &#8220;frivolous claim&#8221; is always a difficult situation. First, you have to show that it is actually &#8220;frivolous&#8221;, and second, you may still end up spending a fair amount on attorneys&#8217; fees getting even a frivolous claim dismissed. It is sometimes difficult to define what exactly is frivolous. In most lawsuits the Defendant feels [...]]]></description>

		<title>What if my employee is sabotaging my company?</title>

		<title>Can I just close my doors if my business is sued?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Unfortunately, as is the case with many legal questions, the answer is maybe. There are a number of factors to look at before that question can be answered, and most likely you would need to see a lawyer to evaluate each individual case.

		<title>What happens if I get sued? &#8211; Part 4 Mediation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While mediation is voluntary, in most counties in Wisconsin, including Milwaukee and Waukesha County, the Court will order the parties to attend mediation.
