Breach of Contract

If you need representation in breach of contract litigation or anticipate that you cannot fulfill your end of a contract, speak to the attorneys at the Biegel Law Firm. We offer sound advice at cost-effective rates, and can help you renegotiate your contract or assert your rights in court.

In California, a contract is valid if:

• You accepted an offer to exchange something of value for specific goods, services, or promises.
• You were not forced into the contract
• You were not tricked or mislead before accepting the contract
• You were not underage, intoxicated, or mentally ill when you entered into the contract
• The terms of the contract were not grossly unfair
• There were no mistakes in the contract that make it unenforceable
• The contract does not involve illegal substances like drugs
• You have a written contract for:
  • The sale of real estate
  • The sale of goods worth more than $500
  • Contracts that will take longer than one year to fulfill
  • Lease agreements lasting more than one year
  • Contracts to pay someone else's debt
  • Contracts for marriage

Do not wait to contact a lawyer. The statute of limitations restricts the time you have to file your claim. In California, you have two years from the date of the breach of an oral contract, and four years from the date of the breach of a written contract to file suit.

Our attorneys represent clients in a range of litigation related to contesting the legality of a contract, enforcing the contract, or terminating the contract. Speak to our attorneys to learn more about your legal options.
