Guaranteed Delivery THE KEY TO SMART BUYING Volume XLIX – No. 15 April 8, 2020 www.TheMerchandiser.com

• Landlord-Tenant Issues • Estates • Criminal Defense • Contract Disputes • Litigation • Property Law • Business Set-Up • Personal Injury Even Under Quarantine, We Still Solve Problems 1. Free Wills for COVID-19 patients (one more reason to get tested). 2. All work and meetings done remotely (because 6 feet is still too close to a lawyer). 3. Free consult for: • Business Owners (because business problems don’t “shelter-in-place”). • Landlord/Tenant (yes, we help both sides-that’s what makes us good). • Employment Issues (This one is serious). • Personal Injury (from when you were allowed to go out). • Any legal issue (if you tell us a good lawyer joke). 4. If Your loved One Dies, we review the will for free (and we’re sorry for your loss). 5. $50 Simple Will (Because we can’t do everything for free). All Jokes Aside: This is a great time to talk with your lawyer (because the alternative is quarantine with your kids). Terms and Conditions Apply David W. Crossett, Esq. David W.
