Asset Purchase

California

Asked on Jun 24, 2022

I am a seller .Buyer broke the contract, How do I get the earnest money in case the buyer did not agree to sign ? .

I am a seller . made a contract to sell the commercial building. But Buyer did not make to fulfill their jobs, my broker asked to sign for the deposit. They did not answer for long time. Escrow company said without both sign, can not release the deposit to the seller.

Donya G.

Answered Jul 15, 2022

That is correct. The escrow agreements I have drafted or reviewed would only release the money if both parties agreed. However, the document should outline what happens when there is a dispute. You will need the document reviewed and then advised on the next steps. As a contracts attorney who has experience with contract disputes, I can assist you. If you would like to engage my services, you may contact me on the Contracts Counsel website. Donya Gordon

Cease and Desist

Illinois

Asked on Aug 27, 2021

Should I get a cease and desist letter?

I have an ex partner who has become out of nowhere disgruntled and left an angry comment on my business page that was something offensive to my client and that I disagreed with. It's been a few weeks of silence and Wednesday they texted me a very angry message about how removing their comment was an unethical business practice and a lot of other accusations about my being cruel to animals, have them in unsafe conditions or that I am the cause of my fosters kittens death, as well as leaving a review on my business page stating the same things. All of these statements are untrue. It's not uncommon to loose kittens when you foster sick neonatal kittens. As far as the conditions my cats are in, I can prove with photos and videos that were sent to this person in private messages were not bad but actually full of enriching toys, supplies, clean and I have people whom regularly are in my home that witness this. I'm unsure whether or not they're going to escalate since Facebook took the review down but this person has a long history of mental illness and I'm afraid of how a bad review like they gave me being posted and not getting removed would do for my business.

Don G.

Answered Oct 3, 2021

If these comments are made on the Facebook platform, I would advise you to use their dispute resolution procedures. I also suggest you respond to any future negative comments from your ex-partner by contradicting the negative statements. If the comments continue to excess and you are unable to resolve through Facebook procedures, then a cease and desist may be warranted. That also may not stop the comments so you may need to seek other legal remedies.

Settlement Agreement

New Jersey

Asked on Aug 26, 2021

How to I get paid from this settlement without having to spend thousands on an attorney

Hello. Through legal help, I have a signed agreement with the other side to pay me $6500 in the settlement, after the other side did not deliver the product i signed on or. Before the attorneys got involved, I wrote a bad review about the 'others sides' business and posted it on the USREVIEW website. In the settlement agreement, i agreed to delete that post (review) however, i cannot. The 'other side' has the ability to have the review deleted, but he refuses to do so, using a stalling tactic not to pay me the settlement. The other side is in the UK. I have already wasted a lot of money on a lawyer from the U.S, he did not help much. I am now working with a lawyer in the UK, however, she is not sure that i will collect, even if we go to trial and win. Do i give up on this settlement, or is there another way to collect on the settlement without having to waste thousands of dollars?

Donya G.

Answered Oct 12, 2021

Hello, It depends. Is your settlement court approved? Did you go to court and the court approved it or was it drafted by attorneys only? If it is not court approved, you can seek to have it approved by the court, however, you would need to be able to serve the person who is in the UK. Do they have a US address? will their lawyer accept service? Do they have property in the US? If yes, then you can sue in small claims court in NJ but only for $3,000.00, which is the limit but it is a process you can do by yourself with guidance. Otherwise if you want to sue for the full $6,500.00 your case should be filed in the regular Special Civil Part. Does the party have assets here in the US? you might want to hire an investigator (cheaper than an attorney) to locate any assets. If they do, then with your approved court settlement, you can attach the property or file a lien to get your money back. If you need further assistance, you can contact me on the website for assistance with my services. All the best Donya Gordon

Donya G.

Answered Oct 5, 2021

You will need an attorney that handles disputes. What does your contract say about disputes? Generally there is a section that outlines what the parties will do if they don't agree, is it litigation or arbitration? If it is litigation, what state law applies to your contract? That will also be in your document? depending on what your contract states, that is what you will need. I am a contracts attorney and have handled disputes including arbitration with AAA. If you you would to engage my services where I would review your agreement and advise you, you can contact me on the contracts counsel website and I would be happy to assist.
