Civil Lawyers

Most contractual disputes arise over the interpretation of the agreement.  The first place to start is to determine if there is a valid contract.  The wording of the agreement will often indicate whether there has been a breach or not. Often, the breach will be clear and obvious.

Oftentimes, there is the possibility of civil contract dispute cases being settled without the need to attend court. 

Often, a breach will be resolved with monetary payment. However, there are also circumstances where an individual or business may be ordered to fulfill the terms of a contract, which is called “specific performance.” Each party under the contract is required to fulfill their end of the contractual agreement. A court may review a contract and then order a party to fulfill their obligations, make payments or both.

At Scardicchio Law Office Professional Corporation, depending on your particular legal needs, there are times where more affordable options are available for a resolution to your matter.  For example, our Civil Litigation Lawyers offer an initial retainer to make amicable attempts to resolve your case:

• A Demand Letter drafted and served on the individual or business who owes you money (the debtor);
• Corresponding with the debtor to come to an agreed arrangement.
• Drafting, serving and filing the documents in court where discussions to resolve are not met with a response;
• Pursuing a judgment in order to settle your case.
