- Identity TheftIdentity thieves are resourceful. Their methods are as varied as the ways in which consumers need to use some form of identification to initiate and complete transactions. It can all be confusing and intimidating, but consumers need not feel helpless against the expanding threat of identity theft. For most of the tactics used by the bad guys, there are countermeasures for consumers. These measures cannot completely ensure that a consumer's identity is safe, but the odds of becoming a victim decline with each protective step taken. What follows is a non-exhaustive collection of safeguards you can put in place to lower the chances that a stranger will do you harm, even as he adds the insult of pretending to be you.

- Business DisputesThe Ohio State Bar Association held a continuing education seminar on Ohio Business Law on July 28, 2011. Among the attendees, Gregory C. Wentz, Managing Partner of Coen Wexler and Wentz, took part in the educational sessions and networking opportunities. Mr. Wentz regularly attends conferences on Ohio Business and Small Business in order to remain informed about issues and any recent developments that could potentially impact the businesses he serves. Since Mr. Wentz devotes a large portion of his practice to Ohio Business, Small Business and Business Continuation Planning, continuing to remain current on the issues of Ohio Business Law is vital to providing guidance and advice to his clients.
