Dispute
Building Lease
North Carolina
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.
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
Dispute
Arbitration Agreement
Oregon
Does the documents and photos I have enough to go to Arbitration
Contractor didn't do all the jobs he was hired to do and what he did do is unacceptable. For example, the Trex deck he built was improperly installed according to the Trex company and another Contractor. It will need to removed and replaced with the proper material/tools and measurements. Currently it is unsafe.
Donya G.
As an Arbitrator and someone who helps clients during their arbitration, I have learned that your evidence is critical to the success or failure of your case. So it is important to have as much evidence as possible and to notarize things you believe the other side would contest as not being real, true or authentic. If you need further assistance, you can contact me directly through contracts counsel. Donya Gordon

Software Agreement
Florida
Software agreement and dispute escalation?
I am a software developer who recently entered into a software agreement with a client. We have been having some disputes regarding the agreement, but we have been unable to come to a satisfactory resolution. I am now looking for advice on how to best resolve the dispute and how to protect my rights under the software agreement.
Daniel D.
The first step to resolving a dispute is to look at what the software agreement says. The agreement may have terms or conditions in there that discuss what happens when there is a dispute. Without seeing the agreement it is difficult to say what you could do to best protect your rights and resolve the dispute.

Building Loan Agreement
Illinois
I brokered a load to a company, they were late , now the office manager wants 4000 $ for a load from a year and 1/2 to be paid, and its a completely differt company.She says the 3 loads wont be delivered til its paid, holding the loads hostage and their is Bulk Mail on the loads, what recourse do I have
I am in loagistics
Donya G.
The recourse you would have is based in your agreement. Would her actions constitute a breach/breaking of the covenants of the original agreement? If so, then your agreement should also lay out the consequences of such breach. You would need to have the contract reviewed so that you can be advised on what your rights and recourse is based on your agreement. As a contracts dispute attorney with litigation and arbitration experience, I can review your agreement and advise you. You can connect with me directly on the Contracts Counsel website or on my page at Donya Gordon. Thanks Donya

Asset Purchase
California
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.
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

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
View Trustpilot ReviewContracts 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.
