My Legal career has focused on representing businesses (corporations and limited liability companies) as general outside counsel. In this capacity, I have drafted a broad range of legal documents as well as analyzed proposed agreements drafted by the other party's attorney to the agreement for the purpose of determining the risks to which my client would be exposed. I maintained the client's minute book if no one in-house was available for that task. Additionally, if requested, I served as a general advisor to the client's executive offers and to its Board of Directors.

Roofing Contract

Texas

Asked on Dec 19, 2022

stuck in a bad contract

I got into a contract with a roofing company that wants to charge me 12 thousand dollars out of pocket on top of he !5 or so thousand that thge insurance is paying or the want 5,800 for breach of contract i need the roof but i cant afford that much debt or cash

Howard B.

Answered Jan 10, 2023

Courts will protect you from an illegal deal, but they will not protect you from an unwise deal. On its face, this is enforceable. However, I know Texas has some very strong consumer protection laws and a Texas attorney may be able to help you with that. You will need to speak directly to a Texas attorney. I'm in a neighboring state and not licensed there.

Time and Materials Contract

California

Asked on Oct 7, 2024

Can you explain the key terms and potential risks involved in entering into a time and material contract?

I am currently in the process of negotiating a contract with a construction company for a home renovation project, and they have proposed a time and material contract. While I understand that this type of contract allows for flexibility in terms of pricing and scope changes, I am concerned about potential risks and uncertainties associated with such an agreement. I want to ensure that I have a clear understanding of the key terms and conditions, as well as any potential legal implications, before proceeding with this contract.

Dolan W.

Answered Oct 11, 2024

Hello! The risks associated with T&M contracts often revolve around cost uncertainty. Since the final price depends on the actual hours worked and materials used, costs can easily exceed the initial estimates, especially if there are delays or unforeseen issues during the project. Additionally, without strict monitoring, contractors may have little incentive to work efficiently or use cost-effective materials. It’s essential to have detailed documentation requirements for time and materials used to ensure transparency. Lawyers essentially have T&M contracts and it's why there are so many disputes, so I'm familiar with your concerns. To adjust for these risks, you can negotiate terms such as a not-to-exceed limit or a guaranteed maximum price. I usually set expectations with clients in advance for my work and you can do the same with this particular contractor. If you need assistance in drafting or negotiating a T&M contract, you can come back and have an agreement prepared through Contractscounsel.com Best of luck! Dolan

Expert Witness Report

Washington

Asked on Aug 25, 2024

Can an expert witness report be used as evidence in a court case?

I am currently involved in a legal dispute where I believe an expert witness report would be crucial in supporting my case. The report, prepared by a qualified professional in the field relevant to the dispute, thoroughly examines the technical aspects and provides an unbiased opinion based on their expertise. I am wondering if this report can be admitted as evidence in court, and if so, what are the requirements and potential challenges associated with its admissibility?

Merry K.

Answered Sep 3, 2024

Speaking generally, to make the report admissible, you would need to call the expert as a witness and first establish his or her as an expert, and then also argue regarding why the report should be accepted as evidence. Among other things, this means you will be paying the expert to appear in court, and establishing the expert as an expert can take hours and hours if the other side decides to challenge the expert's expertise and challenge the validity of the content of the report. Moreover, the other side will probably call at least one expert of their own to challenge your expert and the expert's report. In most law schools, students must take a year-long class on evidence; this is not a topic easily or quickly learned, but there are some legal encyclopedias, hornbooks, and other guides you may want to consult if you are representing yourself. Please note I am picking a "practice area" at random in answering your question for CC since "trial practice" or "evidence" are not listed choices.

Renovation Contract

California

Asked on Aug 23, 2024

Can a renovation contract be terminated if the contractor fails to complete the project within the agreed-upon timeframe?

I recently hired a contractor to renovate my home, and we signed a contract that included a specific timeframe for completion. However, it has been several weeks past the agreed-upon completion date, and the project is still not finished. I have already paid a significant amount of money upfront, and I am concerned about the contractor's ability to complete the renovation. Can I terminate the contract and seek a refund if the contractor fails to meet the agreed-upon timeframe?

Dolan W.

Answered Sep 27, 2024

Hello! I'm so sorry about your situation. So legally speaking, you do have a right to cancel the agreement. The law would consider their actions to be a breach of contract for their failure to perform within the timeframe allotted. Because of their lack of performance, you can suspend your performance. You may want to consider just writing a formal demand letter. to the contractor to refund your money. https://www.contractscounsel.com/t/document-form-checkout/256.
