        My family member and I entered into a business contract together with another company. After 20 years, my family member passed away. Prior to her passing, I was told my name was removed. However, it was not legally removed, and I was on the hook. Ten years after her passing, I was notified by the business, and I was completely shocked and confused. I decided to get some legal advice but it wasn’t as easy as it seems to get help from a lawyer.Finally, a responsive and helpful lawyer, Mr. Rouhani, called me right back. He was confident and knowledgable and it made me feel better.He promptly sent a letter to the business and within a couple weeks he had a response from the lawyer representing their business. I was released from any further obligation. I needed a lawyer and no one wanted to help me because it was a smaller matter, but a huge matter for me. If Mr. Rouhani hadn’t listened and wanted to help, I’d still be dealing with this mess.
