Business disputes and resolution
Most business disputes are best resolved early and quietly. We help you understand your options, negotiate a resolution and, if a lawsuit becomes necessary, find the right litigation attorney.
When to call us
Deadlines may apply, so do not wait.
A customer or vendor will not pay
We review the contract and your options for collection.
A partner or owner dispute
We review the agreement and seek a practical resolution.
I received a demand or lawsuit
We explain the deadlines and what to do first.
What we do
We prepare documents, file paperwork and give advice. We do not appear in court or before local boards. If your matter needs that, we will help you find an attorney who handles those proceedings.

Common questions
General information, not legal advice for your situation.
Is there a time limit to sue?
Yes. Statutes of limitations apply and vary by claim, so talk to a lawyer promptly.
Do we have to go to court?
Many disputes settle through negotiation or mediation. We tell you honestly when we think that is the better path.

We outline a range for each stage after reviewing the facts.
