Common questions

Should I have a lawyer review a contract before I sign it?

Yes, especially if the contract involves significant money, a long commitment or terms you do not fully understand. A short review now can prevent costly problems later.

What can I do if the other party breaks our contract?

Depending on the agreement and the circumstances, you may be able to recover money damages, require performance, or end the contract. An attorney can review the agreement and advise you on the best course of action.

Is a verbal agreement legally binding?

Some verbal agreements are enforceable, but certain contracts, such as those involving real estate, must be in writing. Verbal agreements are also much harder to prove, so it is always best to put important agreements in writing.
