Contract Disputes

Breach of contract or contract dispute cases are the most commonly heard cases in small claims courts.

We offer our clients detailed consultations and contract reviews to determine that a valid contract exists and if the contract was broken. We access if the party in question had the legal right to enter the contract, if they were responsible for the respective claim, and what punitive damages were lost as a result of the contract breach.

Collections

Recovering delinquent amounts owed by a customer or firm is something we have been doing for over 30 years. We assist in collecting all types of debts and will effectively compel your debtors to pay or surrender collateral based on their contractual obligation, whether that includes delinquent invoices, delinquent accounts, unpaid promissory notes, judgments, or more.

We have successfully collected from large corporations, small businesses, banks and individuals.
