I am L. D. Sledge, co-author of No Fail Hiring with Patrick Valtin. As a successful attorney for forty three years, I have the experience needed to assist small businesses in hiring the just right employee and avoiding the disaster of having the wrong employees. I have personally had employees who turned on me and as a result I lost my practice. It is my goal to teach, in blogs, workshops and consultations, how to pick winners and sidestep the legal dangers to prevalent in hiring and managing employees.
Today's litigious environment is a minefield for the unwary businessperson who wants to make an honest living by applying skills, resources and energy in this risky entrepreneurial world. There are enough worries just handling the day to day business without having to sweat legalities and the possibility of violating some federal or state law. Today the business terrain is littered with the bones of entrepreneurs who ran afoul of bad employees who sued and obtained horrendous judgments from juries using the punishing tool of punitive damages, often damaging the business beyond repair.
My blogs will hopefully shed some light in these difficult areas. I will never give legal advice in these blogs. Consider my viewpoint that of a realistic teacher who wants you to succeed. Stay tuned. I hope to make it interesting as well as informative.
