What is Contract Law?
Contract law involves an agreement that one person or party makes with another person or party. Usually, both parties hold up their side of the agreement. If not, Beck Law Center can help you sue for breach of contract.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do contracts need to be in writing? Not usually. A contract is usually enforceable even if it is not in writing. The problem is that it can be hard to prove what each party was supposed to do if you do not have something in writing.
- How long do I have to sue someone for breach of contract if they fail to uphold their end of the bargain? It is a long time in every state. In Ohio, the statute of limitations on most contract disputes is ten years.
- Will Beck Law Center work on contingency in a breach of contract case? Yes, but we want to make sure clients understand that means that even if we win, the client will only get 60% of what they are entitled to under the contract because they will have to pay Beck Law Center the other 40%. For that reason, it is often better for a client to pay an hourly rate for a breach of contract.
Conclusion about Breach of Contract
