Facts:
Michael Rodriguez and Devontae Johnson have been life-long friends. Both Michael and
Devontae started to work for the same national plumbing repair company immediately after
graduating from technical college. After nearly a decade of working for that same company,
Michael and Devontae decided to venture out on their own and form their own plumbing
company called AAA Fast Plumbing Repair (AAA). They formed AAA as a limited liability
company (LLC). Michael and Devontae each own 50% of the company. The company has been
successful primarily based upon reputation and the fact that AAA is available 24 hours a day,
seven days a week. Although AAA charges a premium for after normal business hour calls,
most of its competitors will not perform services past 9 p.m. and, thus, AAA finds itself often as
one of the only available choices for middle of the night emergencies.
AAA has several employees and because of implementing technology solutions to aid in its call
dispatch program, AAA has been able to expand its service area to now include a three-county
area instead of just one.
