Breach of Contract

Most commercial relationships live on paper — and when the other side stops performing, the paper is only as good as your ability to enforce it. We prosecute and defend contract actions across Central Florida: sales and service agreements, promissory notes, purchase contracts, construction and vendor disputes, and the handshake deals Florida law sometimes enforces anyway.

What a Florida breach case requires

A valid contract, a material breach, and damages that flow from it — each element sounds simple and each is contested in practice. Was the contract formed? Was performance excused? Are the damages proven with reasonable certainty, including lost profits? We build the proof — documents, financials, and witnesses — before the other side knows the fight is coming.

Remedies worth suing for

Compensatory damages, lost profits, prejudgment interest, and — where the contract or a statute provides — attorneys' fees. Florida's reciprocal fee statute (§ 57.105(7)) can turn a one-sided fee clause into a two-way street, which changes settlement math dramatically. We evaluate fee exposure on day one, because it drives strategy on both sides.

Defense with judgment

Sued on a contract? Defenses — prior breach, failure of conditions, waiver, setoff, fraud in the inducement — need to be raised early and pled properly. We defend businesses and owners with the same trial-first preparation we bring as plaintiffs.
