Dispute Legal Questions and Answers
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

Asset Purchase Agreement

I sold my FedEx business in Oct 2020. The new owner paid half of my asking price & I have a legal contract for payment over 5 years with interest of 5%. He lost the business & has stopped paying my monthly installment payments.

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

Cease and Desist
Illinois
Cease and Desist Letter Request
Good morning, My question is in regards to writing a Cease and Desist letter. Background information: In 2019, I was left with a bill of approximately $6,000 for a friends Bridal Shower & Wedding related expenses. These expenses were agreed upon by the bridal party to be split between 5 people. On Friday, December 24, upon request from the family of the bride, promises were made to refund the money. On Monday, December 27, the family disputed the fees stating they were not obligated to pay the expenses. I, unfortunately, don't have anything in writing to show that the bridal party agreed to pay as the messages via Instagram were deleted. The bridal party and I had a falling out after the wedding as I was upset that the original agreement wasn't upheld. Since then, the bride has made false allegations about me and made up several stories about me to others to try to deflect from the actual issue. Today: I don't believe I have a leg to stand on regarding the money, however, on Monday, December 27, I, myself, and my mother received harassing phone calls from the family and bridal party with threats and false allegations. I would like to request a Cease and Desist letter, or another form of legal letter to address the harassment and demand that lies about me are no longer told. If there is another route that may be more appropriate, I appreciate any advice. Thank you.
T. Phillip B.
You could use a cease and desist letter which states you will pursue your other legal remedies if they fail to stop. You shouldn't have much of an issue trying to prove the harassment as it has happened to you and if it continues. For the lies being told, you will need to have proof which means those she told will have to testify. If you have damages, you'll have to allege those too with some sort of proof.

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.
