Breach of Contract

“Your word is your bond.”  That’s a rule we are all taught to uphold.  Unfortunately, not everyone conducts their business with honor.  It becomes extraordinary difficult to run a successful business when vendors, customer, or others fail to live up to their agreements.

When a party breaches a contract, the law can provide relief. Although the terms of the contract often control the remedies available, in many cases compensatory damages can be recovered to provide the damaged parties with the “benefit of their bargain.” Other types of damages, such as foreseeable consequential and special damages, may be available as well.
In some cases, it may be possible to receive an injunction against the other party in which a court orders them to cease continuing breaches of their agreement, or to preserve the assets that may be the subject of the contract.

Depending on the language of the contract itself and other factors, you may be able to recover your attorney’s fees in a breach of contract case as well, even if the agreement is oral.

Regardless of the nature of the agreement or the breach, choose a breach of contract attorney with the experience and skills to maximize your changes of success.
