Breach of Contract; Contracts; Business Contracts; Commercial Contracts; Franchise Agreements
We represent small or medium sized businesses, professionals and entrepreneurs suing to collect money owed or defending against unjust claims.
Ryan Sawyer and Christine Giovannelli examine an old decision tree (adapted from the Six Sigma process mapping tools), analyzing tactical alternatives and their potential outcomes. This one stretched over a twelve foot conference table. Now computer programs make decision trees easier to create and manage.
The cases are too varied to be easily described, but often our opponents are arrogant, larger companies who think that they can avoid payment simply because they are big. We have successfully sued Bank One, IBM, and other large companies when they wrongly sought to avoid liability. And we have defended companies and individuals against extortionist demands for payments that were not owed.
The inventory of our pleadings, briefs, discovery questions and jury instructions benefits our clients in two ways.
First, cases can sometimes turn on subtle matters such as how a complaint is drafted or how questions are framed in discovery. We have already experienced these issues and therefore avoid mistakes.
Second, we can work efficiently and save our clients money because we have a head start in preparing all of these papers.
In selected cases, we have proceeded on a blended hourly-contingent fee basis so that our client pays fewer attorney fees until and unless we collect (the catch: we have to like your case, you have to pay court filing fees and out of pocket costs, and it has to be a big case). We provide a free initial consultation to help you evaluate your case.
