Breach of Contract

Florida breach of contract occurs when one or more parties fail to perform any term of a contract without a legitimate legal excuse. One of the primary element for a claim of Breach of Contract is that there must be a valid contract. To create a valid contract there must be an offer, acceptance, and consideration. Often the parties can create these elements through actions that they take that are consistent with the creation of a contract.

Some examples of breach of contract are not paying on time or not paying in full, failure to complete a job, failure to deliver all goods in the contract, delivery of the wrong goods or services, or any other act that shows a failure to complete all or a part of the contract.

The claimant (person brining the breach of contract action), must prove by a preponderance of the evidence (more likely than not) that there

is a contract,
a breach of that contract occurred,
damages resulted from the breach, and
there are no valid defenses for the breach.

There are many types of contracts and the requirements for each vary by state law. Some contracts are governed by the statute of frauds, which require a writing signed by the party who is in breach. Other contracts have implied terms and / or conditions that are created by the Florida UCC and deal with the sale of goods.

Florida contracts law seeks to put the parties in the position as if the breach had not occurred. Unless there is a statutory justification, or clauses in the contract, attorneys fees may not be recoverable.

After years of trying to protect my assets from creditors, I was shocked to find out that my assets were unprotected in ways I had never considered. Not only had I placed my assets at risk from my mother's creditors, but I had placed my assets at risk from other family members who were intent on manipulation. When my mother died, I discovered that a family member had changed my mother's estate planning documents. Mr. Goldman and his team were able to explain what went wrong and successfully defended my position in court. During the case, I learned that I could have had much better protection from family and creditors, thus avoiding years of litigation and undue familial stress. When it comes to protecting your assets and your family, I would highly recommend hiring Mr. Goldman and his team. Bill H.

As a real estate agent, I have been involved with many property transactions where I needed a probate attorney to help facilitate the transaction. I have used the services of Mr. Goldman and his staff over the last several years and continue to use them on a regular basis. His office has been able to navigate the court system and help estates sell their property quickly and efficiently. In addition, Mr. Goldman can help real estate investors structure trusts to protect their assets from creditors. Michael Starling

This office is fantastic. I was faced with a horrible situation and this office helped to put an end to the untenable situation. Ms. Kendal Schoepfer was always available before, during, and after office hours to answer any questions that I had. I highly recommend this law office to all. Tisha Brown
