If they change the business name and wait a bit. IF they wanna stay in jersey.

Otherwise change business name, get rid of a few people, wait a bit and startover in another state, hoping people forgot about their rep.

I went there during the summer of 2006. Sorry, it's quite ghetto and as you can see from the threads... It's not exactly a good place to get work done.
