Breach of Contract, Claims Attorney in San Diego, CA

Breach of Contract, Claims Overview

The "business" of business typically starts with some type of binding contract or agreement in place. Even when parties enter into such an agreement with the best of intentions, however, the reality of business is that contracts often fail. Fortunately or unfortunately, as the case may be, breach of contract claims are rarely simple, open-and-shut types of cases. In fact, there are often complex issues of law and other factors that must be carefully considered by plaintiffs and defendants alike, even before pursuing legal recourse.

For these reasons and more, your interests will be best served by contacting an experienced business litigation lawyer about a breach of contract claim as soon as possible.

At the Law Office of John J. O'Brien, we provide experienced guidance and effective legal representation for individuals, small- and mid-sized businesses, shareholders and others with breach of contract concerns in the San Diego area. Our clients work directly with lawyer John J. O'Brien throughout the process and receive legal advice, services and representation tailored to meet their individual needs in each case. We are easy to work with, caring and diligent, and we always go the extra mile to do what is best for the people and businesses we represent.

Our experience with breach of contract claims and issues includes:

• Contract disputes governed by common law as well as the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC)
• Real estate contract disputes
• Excused contract breaches
• Non-performance
• Part performance
• Prejudgment attachments (liens, levies)
• Preliminary injunction and specific performance remedies
• Fraudulent transfers of assets
• Unjust enrichment claims

At the initial interview, we will listen to you tell us about the contract and nature of the dispute before moving into a series of questions about evidence, written documentation and other subjects that will allow us to determine whether a breach of contract took place and, if so, what evidence supports that claim. As part of a larger analysis, we will also consider factors such as whether the defendant can pay, the existence of venue and dispute resolution clauses (arbitration, mediation, etc.) modifying or eliminating the right to go to court, and the potential for more creative solutions.

While negotiated settlements are the most common outcome to these disputes, as well as the most cost-effective way to resolve breach of contract claims, we will be fully prepared to protect your interests in litigation, if and when that becomes necessary.
