"I had the pleasure of working with Nancy on a commercial lease for our Business, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From our initial consultation to the final signing, her professionalism, deep knowledge of real estate law, and attention to detail were outstanding. What impressed me most was the clear and consistent communication. She took the time to walk me through all clause of the lease on which we had concerns, answered all my questions promptly, and made sure I fully understood my rights and obligations and also suggested modification which would help me as a Tenant. Her expertise helped negotiate favorable terms and avoid potential pitfalls I wouldn’t have caught on my own. If you're looking for a real estate attorney who combines strong legal skills with excellent client service, I highly recommend Nancy. She made a potentially stressful process feel smooth and secure."

Dispute Legal Questions and Answers

Dispute

Cease and Desist

Illinois

Asked on Dec 29, 2021

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.

Answered Jan 14, 2022

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.

Dispute

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

Contractual Agreement

New York

Asked on Mar 22, 2022

Can I create a contract that bars any form of dispute resolution (Jury trial and Mediation/Arbitration) if a client fails to dispute an invoice within 7 days of receipt.

I own a growing security guard firm and all my clients sign a service contract before we provide services. In order to reduce the stress of collecting from a slow playing client, I want to create a new contract that makes it impossible to dispute an invoice after 7 days of receipt.

Donya G.

Answered Apr 19, 2022

While you may create a contract without dispute resolution, the issue is whether it would be enforceable by any court. Seeing that a contract is between two parties and disputes arise, by barring any resolution, it would essentially not afford a party an opportunity to be heard. I do not believe a court would allow of enforce such a position. If you need additional assistance you can find me on the Contracts Counsel website and I can provide my legal services to you.

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!

Software Agreement

Florida

Asked on Jul 12, 2023

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.

Answered Jul 18, 2023

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.
