Litigation for closely held companies in Southern California when the other party doesn’t perform.
The other side stopped doing what it agreed to do.
A customer will not pay. A vendor delivered late, or not at all. A consumer says the work was not what was sold. Two companies read the same contract and reach different conclusions about who owes what.
By the time it feels like a lawsuit, there is usually already a record: invoices, change orders, emails, a termination notice. The question is whether to demand, negotiate, or file, and who frames the story first.
Company vs. company
Nonpayment, failed performance, terminated agreements, and fights over what the contract actually required.
Vendor disputes
Suppliers and contractors who did not deliver, overbilled, or walked off. Also the reverse: a vendor who did the work and did not get paid.
Partnership, LLC, and shareholder disputes
Freeze-outs, books-and-records demands, mismanagement, and buy-sell deadlocks.
Consumer disputes
A consumer who will not pay, or who claims the product or service was not what was sold. The contract, the invoices, and the communications usually decide it.
A recommended next move, in plain terms. Not a 12-page memo.
You know what was filed, what is due, and what we are waiting on.
Assessment of the contract and the facts first, not a status call three weeks later.
