Parag's Story
Parag L. Amin (“Parag”) founded his law firm from a deep-seated belief that entrepreneurship is the bedrock of the American dream. When Parag was younger his father, who had immigrated from India to the United States in search of a better life, invested his life’s savings in a business. His father did not have the guidance and help of experienced lawyers. Like many business owners, he was trying to figure it out on his own. After investing his life savings, his father spent 80 to 90 hour work-weeks at that business trying to make it successful. After a little over two years of trying to make the business successful, and during a time when Parag rarely got to see his father, the state’s taxing authority came and told Parag’s father that the business owed hundreds of thousands of dollars of unpaid sales taxes. Parag’s father said he had properly reported and paid his sales taxes, so it would be impossible for him to owe this enormous amount of unpaid sales taxes from the last two years. He further explained that his sales were nowhere close to generating the kind of revenue required to owe hundreds of thousands of dollars of back taxes.
What his father did not know was that when he bought the business and the entity that owned it (instead of forming a new entity to take over the business), he took over the previously undisclosed liabilities of the prior owner who had failed to pay his sales taxes. Parag’s father was then faced with the ultimatum of either closing the store or paying the back taxes. His father chose to close the store because it would have taken many years to pay off the back taxes with the revenue that the store generated. So, to support his family, Parag’s father had to get a W-2 job and gave up on his American dream of entrepreneurship. Even though Parag was young when the experience occurred, the experience stayed with him. That experience is what drove Parag to become a lawyer – a determination to prevent others from having their family legacy destroyed or degraded by dishonesty or injustice in the business world.
