The Corporate Protection Services Story |
||||||
Near the end
of 2003 I had heard the overwhelming complaints by numerous small
business clients about "the bottom line". It was all the
same, rising insurance costs, lawsuits by employees for improper
termination or sexual harassment, increasing rent and government imposed
fines for various safety and OSHA violations.
You may wonder why they came to their attorney with all types of general business questions and you would not be alone in the asking. I am certain that after learning about my past and reading the current news, you will understand why they came to me for help and why it is only natural that the services provided by CorporateProtectionServices.com were and are necessary for every business. |

Professional Experience |
||||||
| I was the former General Counsel for JB Dental Supply Co., Inc, a privately owned nation-wide dental supply company with gross sales in excess of one hundred million dollars annually. | ||||||
| While there I
acted under a number of different titles in an effort to (1) revitalize the business (2) lower overhead and raise the bottom line (3) create a positive work environment with properly trained employees (4) protect them from potential hazards and lawsuits |
||||||
|
|
||||||
| I acted
under the main titles of
General Counsel and the Director of Human Resources.
I oversaw 18 branch offices and cared for over 400 employees and their families. I reviewed all landlord tenant issues for all locations. I reviewed all contracts with all suppliers and vendors. I reconstructed the contract with the outside financing company and increased the bottom line by over twelve million dollars by redesigning the collection department.. |
||||||
| I undertook the task of revamping the Worker's Compensation and drastically reduced the experience modification; saving the company 15%, over $75,000.00, on renewal. | ||||||
| I made an extensive review of the Medical and Dental Plans and found where the company was losing over $200,000.00 annually; paying for terminated employees and employees on extended leave. | ||||||
| At the same time as decreasing the company's insurance costs I increased company morale by implementing several production incentive rewards programs and adding domestic partner coverage to the existing policies. | ||||||
| I created the Hiring and Termination Processes for the company. I created the employment application, the employee's handbook, the purchase orders, the credit applications as well as all of the warranties and disclaimers for the hi-tech equipment and x-ray machines. | ||||||
| While working
with JB Dental as it's general counsel my corporate correspondents and
contacts included: |

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| Prior to my employment at
the dental supply company I was the General
Counsel for a national collection agency. I created the collection
procedures and oversaw the day to day operations. I assisted in collecting
over eight million dollars in outstanding debt, many of which were well
over 180 days old.
Clients included multi-national corporations and nationwide produce growers and distributors. |
