"Matthew was absolutely excellent to work with. He responded to our project request immediately, was always available via text, phone, or email to answer any questions, and handled our demand letter quickly and efficiently. We got a response same-day as a result of Matthew's demand letter, and we had a check in our hands within a few short weeks of hiring him. He even offered to handle a few additional things, like negotiations and document signing, and finalizing the settlement. Would highly recommend Matthew for your legal needs!"

Dispute Legal Questions and Answers

Brand Ambassador Agreement

California

Asked on Dec 20, 2024

Can a brand ambassador terminate a Brand Ambassador Agreement if they are not receiving the agreed-upon compensation?

I have been working as a brand ambassador for a company for the past six months, promoting their products on social media and attending events on their behalf. However, I have recently noticed that I am not receiving the compensation outlined in the Brand Ambassador Agreement we signed at the beginning of our partnership. Despite several attempts to address this issue with the company, they have not taken any action to rectify the situation. I am now considering terminating the agreement, but I want to know if I have the legal right to do so in these circumstances.

Dolan W.

Answered Dec 27, 2024

Hello! My name is Dolan and thanks for coming to contractscounsel.com. The short answer? PROBABLY. Generally, the terms of the agreement will outline what it is you can do if you aren't receiving the outlined compensation. If the agreement is silent on this, then the law generally doesn't automatically terminate the agreement; however, you can suspend your performance until you are paid and demand the money that you be paid here. To cover your bases, it’s smart to send the company a written notice explaining that they’ve breached the agreement by not paying you and stating that you’re terminating the contract as a result. This puts everything on record in case they try to dispute it later. If you’re not sure about the specific legal details, consulting with one of us here would be a good idea to ensure your termination is legally airtight. We can review the agreement for you and let you know your options. Best of luck!

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

Demand Letter

Delaware

Asked on Sep 6, 2021

Can you help me write and send a Demand Letter to PayPal Inc which is based in CA and my LLC was formed in DE

PayPal unlawfully took my money (over $7k) just like they did with Eric please see the post - https://www.pokertube.com/article/chris-moneymaker-lawyers-up-to-sue-paypal-for-seized-funds I joined the lawsuit but I know that some people got their money back by sending demand letters to PayPal so I want to send one too. I want your help to draft the letter and send the actual physical copy. Chances of it working are far greater if it is coming from an attorney than an individual.

Donya G.

Answered Oct 5, 2021

Agreed; however, in order for a demand letter to be the most effective, it needs to be drafted by an attorney that is licensed in the state of the issue; for you, you will need a CA licensed attorney. This will ensure that when the demand letter is served by a CA attorney, the company will know that the attorney is licensed to bring a lawsuit in that state and therefore, it typically will ensure that it the demand letter is not ignored. You will need to post your job request on the website "Looking for a CA lawyer to send demand letter to PayPal" and outline what you need the lawyer to do. Lawyers licensed in CA will respond to your post, and after you speak with and choose a lawyer, the work can be done. Be sure to discuss and agree upon the price and the time in which you would like the work to be completed. All the best, Donya Gordon

Building Lease

North Carolina

Asked on Sep 25, 2021

If you break a lease can a landlord add crazy charges without an agreement?

I signed a lease 9/11 and tried to break it 9/13. Landlord charged me 60 days and did not provide an early termination agreement

Donya G.

Answered Oct 5, 2021

Is there an early termination in the original document that you signed? Typically, you can withdraw from an agreement with minimal fees but it all depends on what your contract states. If you contract does not have any early termination language, you will need a real estate attorney in your state to advise on the law of your state and how to handle. All the best Donya Gordon

Promissory Note

New York

Asked on Jun 1, 2022

Breach of contract: Promissory note

Someone owe my money which he took as a loan signing a promissory note. He moved out of Syracuse, NY and know that he is living in the state of Ohio. How can I sue him to collect $7,286? Please help.

Donya G.

Answered Jun 14, 2022

Does your promissory note talk about what happens if he doesn't pay? Does the law of NY apply to your agreement? If so, you can sue in NY court. In order to get a firm answer on what to do, I would need to review the promissory note and see what it says. You can connect with me and engage my services through Contracts Counsel. Donya Gordon
