Breach of Contract Theory
Business Litigation - Litigation Attorney
Many business people come to the business litigation lawyers at Shaka Johnson, Esquire and say they either want to sue someone, or say that they are being sued. Before proceeding with a lawsuit, it is vital to first review all the facts and circumstances surrounding the lawsuit, analyze and apply relevant statutory and common law, analyze and determine the strengths and weaknesses in the opposition's position, and craft a well reasoned and effective litigation strategy. If the client is the Plaintiff, he must ensure that he not only has a good case and a well crafted legal strategy, but he must also determine that the business or person that he is suing has enough assets so that he can collect his judgment at the end of the legal action. If the client is a Defendant, he must zero in on all applicable defenses and seriously consider what legal counter punches he can throw and when.
