Core Service
Breach of Contract Claims
When another party fails to fulfill their contractual obligations — whether by non-performance, late performance, or defective performance — you have a right to pursue remedies under Georgia law. We analyze your contract, assess the strength of your claim, and develop a litigation strategy designed to maximize your recovery. We represent both plaintiffs pursuing breach claims and defendants facing wrongful breach accusations.
Core Service
Pre-Litigation Demand & Negotiation
Many contract disputes can be resolved without going to court — if the right pressure is applied at the right time. We draft strategic demand letters that clearly state your legal position and the consequences of non-compliance, opening the door to settlement while preserving your litigation options. Our goal is always to achieve the best outcome for you at the lowest cost, which often means resolving matters before filing suit.
Core Service
Contract Litigation Through Trial
When settlement is not possible or is not in your interest, we are prepared to take your case to trial. Our attorneys handle all aspects of contract litigation — from initial pleadings, discovery, and dispositive motions through trial preparation and courtroom advocacy. We practice in Georgia Superior Court, State Court, and Federal District Court for the Northern and Middle Districts of Georgia.
What We Handle
Common contract disputes we resolve
Contract disputes arise across nearly every type of business and personal relationship. These are among the most common matters we handle for Georgia clients.
Dispute Type
Service Agreement Disputes
Disputes over professional services, construction contracts, consulting agreements, and other service-based arrangements are among the most common contract matters we handle. Whether you are a business that did not receive the services it paid for, or a service provider whose client refuses to pay for completed work, we analyze the contract terms and applicable Georgia law to protect your interests.
Dispute Type
Real Estate & Lease Contract Disputes
Disputes over purchase and sale agreements, lease terms, commercial tenancy, and real property contracts require attorneys who understand both contract law and Georgia's real estate statutes. We handle disputes involving failure to close, earnest money forfeiture, lease breaches, wrongful eviction claims, and related matters across Hall, Jackson, Gwinnett, and Banks Counties.
Dispute Type
Non-Compete & Non-Disclosure Agreement Disputes
Georgia's Restrictive Covenants Act governs non-compete and non-solicitation agreements between employers and employees. These disputes often move quickly — employers seeking injunctive relief to stop a former employee from competing, or employees challenging the enforceability of overly broad restrictions. We handle both sides of these disputes and understand the current state of Georgia's restrictive covenant law.

FAQ
Common questions about contract disputes in Georgia
Answers to the questions we hear most from clients in Gainesville, Lawrenceville, Jefferson, and across Northeast Georgia.
What is the statute of limitations for breach of contract in Georgia?
Under Georgia law, a written contract has a six-year statute of limitations, while an oral contract has a four-year limit. These periods begin when the breach occurs. Missing the deadline forfeits your right to sue regardless of how strong your underlying claim may be. If you believe you have a breach of contract claim, contact us promptly to ensure you are within the applicable limitations period.
What damages can I recover for breach of contract in Georgia?
In Georgia, contract damages are intended to put the non-breaching party in the position they would have been in had the contract been performed. This typically includes direct damages (the expected benefit of the contract), consequential damages (foreseeable losses flowing from the breach), and in some cases, incidental damages. Georgia also allows recovery of attorney fees and litigation expenses when a party has acted in bad faith or been stubbornly litigious.
What if the contract has an arbitration clause?
If your contract contains a valid arbitration clause, your dispute will generally be resolved through arbitration rather than in court. Arbitration clauses are broadly enforceable under both Georgia law and the Federal Arbitration Act. We represent clients in commercial arbitration proceedings and can also advise on whether any defenses to the arbitration clause might apply in your case.
Can I sue for specific performance rather than money damages?
Yes, in certain cases. Specific performance — where the court orders the breaching party to actually perform their contractual obligation rather than pay damages — is available when money damages are inadequate. This remedy is most commonly available in real estate contracts, where the subject property is considered unique. We assess whether specific performance is available and advisable in your situation.
