Common types of business and commercial cases would include the following:

Collection Cases: These may be generally defined as a legal claim based upon a promissory note or a revolving credit account, wherein the amount claimed due is usually not in dispute (but not always). These law offices represent both plaintiffs and defendants in such matters.

Business Formation Disputes: Many people end up in disputes with fellow partners, co-venturers, or shareholders in disputes related to the operation and/or income of a business concern, and which are often complicated due to the absence of a properly drafted contract or partnership agreement on the front end of the business operation.

Enforcement of Judgments: The old days of debtor’s prison are long-since gone, and a judgment is not the equivalent of a court order that the judgment debtor give the judgment creditor a check. Creativity and tenacity are required to collect a delinquent judgment, and the full array of judgment enforcement tools that a diligent legal practitioner should consider include bank levies, wage garnishment, real and personal property liens, attachment, and judgment debtor examination under oath.

Real Property Litigation: Common cases include homeowner’s association problems; homeowner vs. contractor disputes following remodeling or construction projects, the imposition or extinguishment of mechanic’s liens; breach of contract arising out of a sale of property; landlord-tenant disputes, partition actions when co-owners cannot agree on the sale or management of a given property; slander of title when a property owner’s title is wrongfully clouded or subjected to an illegal lien, and construction defects.
