Is this considered a form of misinterpretation leading to a breach of contract ?
I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND I NEED A LAWYER WHO PRACTICES IN THE STATE OF NY TO REVIEW A EQUIPMENT RENTAL CONTRACT THAT WAS SIGNED AND AGREED UPON FOR JULY 30,2022 IN BROOKLYN, NY. THE LOCATION OF THE EVENT WAS RELOCATED DUE TO UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES. THE NEW LOCATION WAS ONLY 2.5 MILES AWAY FROM THE ORIGINAL LOCATION. I NEEDED TO CHANGE THE TENT SIZE TO A SIZE THAT CAN FIT INTO OUR NEW FACILITY. WAS NO LONGER NEEDED BUT SERVICES AND OTHER CONTRACTED EQUIPMENT WERE STILL NEEDED. COMPANY STATES SINCE I WANT TO DOWNSIZE THE TENT I AM CANCELING WHICH IS NOT THE CASE. I ADVISED THE OWNER ABOUT HIS ASSISTANT MISLEADING ME INTO BUYING A SMALLER TENT THAN WAS NEEDED. THE TENT HAS A CAPACITY OF ABOUT 500 PEOPLE ONLY, BUT I WAS TOLD THAT 1200 PEOPLE CAN FIT. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO WORK WITH THE OWNER AND HAS REFUSED TO WORK WITH ME AND HAS FOUGHT THE TWO DISPUTE CLAIMS I HAVE MADE WITH THE BANK. OWNER CXLD CONTRACT AND STATES THAT I CANCELLED IT BY WANTING TO MAKE A CHANGE TO THE TENT. NOWHERE ON THE CONTRACT STATES CHANGES CAN’T BE MADE. I SPENT $9,298.00 AND I HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT. THE CONTRACT IS VERY AMBIGUOUS. CAN THIS BE CONSIDERED A BREACH OF CONTRACT WITH THE MISINTERPRETATION OF THE TENT?

Contract Review
I have a contract between myself and my employer. Does it need to be reviewed to see if I can legally get out of it. In addition, I need to know if this contract is transferable in the event the practice gets sold?
Matthew S.
To answer your questions, someone is going to need to look at your contract. I can review your contract. The cost will vary depending on the size of the document. I will charge you 250 dollars to review a two-page contract, that will include a memorandum discussing various issues I discover, as well as any questions you raise. There will be an additional $25 per page, after that. Please feel free to contact me through Contracts Counsel, if you have any questions.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
View Trustpilot ReviewI never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
