Frequently Asked Questions

We understand the importance of choosing the right lawyer. We invite you to explore the breadth and depth of our capabilities.

Depending on the circumstances of your case, the following remedies may be available to you if you prevail in your action:

  1. Compensatory Damages – Money damages to reimburse you for financial losses incurred as a direct result of the breach or tort.
  2. Consequential and Incidental Damages – Money damages to reimburse you for financial losses you incurred as foreseeable, but indirect result of the breach.
  3. Liquidated Damages – Money damages agreed-to and written into a contract that would be payable in the event of breach.
  4. Punitive Damages – Money damages awarded with the intention of punishing the party who acted in an offensive manner in an effort to deter others from engaging in the same wrongdoing.
  5. Attorney fees and costs – These fees are generally only recoverable if the terms of the agreement specifically provided for them.
  6. Rescission  – A contract is canceled and both parties are excused from further performance.
  7. Reformation – The terms of a contract are modified to reflect the original intention of the parties.
  8. Specific Performance  – A court order requiring a party to perform as set forth in the contract.

Most people think of the trial process as arguing a case in front of a judge and jury in a courtroom, but it is actually far more detailed than that. It includes several steps, such as:

  • Pleading: complaint, answer, and motions
  • Pretrial: discovery, including written questions and depositions.
  • Trial: jury seating, testimony from plaintiff and defendant
  • Conclusion of trial: closing arguments, judge’s charge to the jury, deliberations, announcement of verdict
  • Post trial, motions for a new trial or appeal

If the claims are the result of a contract, the terms of the contract may establish the parties’ right to recover attorney’s fees. Otherwise, fees may be assessed if there is evidence of bad faith in the underlying matter, if claims were frivolously asserted or defended, or if the claims are the result of willful misconduct.  Additionally, fees or costs may be awarded against a party that willfully dismisses a case without the agreement of the other.  However, in most cases, each of the parties will have to bear their own fees and expenses.

There are several things to consider before pursuing someone for money or services you believe you are owed.  First, it is essential to determine if your rights to the funds or services you are seeking.  Is there a clear agreement, is it in writing, is there a document trail showing refusal to pay?  To show your case in the best possible light, it is typically best to try other methods of debt collection before pursuing the matter in court.  For example, be sure to ask for the money - preferably in writing - so there is a record of your attempts.  Ask them multiple times for an exact dollar amount.  You can also consider a professional collection agency.  If these methods do not work, it would be time to consult an attorney to help you navigate the legal system.
