Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth suing for breach of contract?

Whether it’s worth suing for breach of contract depends on the details of your situation. We need to look at factors like the extent of your losses, the likelihood of a successful outcome, and the costs involved in legal action. Sometimes, pursuing a lawsuit can help recover significant damages and uphold your rights. Other times, alternative approaches like negotiation or mediation might be more practical. We’re here to help you evaluate your options and decide on the best path forward.
What is the difference between mediation, arbitration, and litigation?

Mediation, arbitration, and litigation are different paths we can take to resolve disputes. In mediation, we work with a neutral mediator to help both parties reach a mutually agreeable solution through open dialogue. Arbitration involves presenting the case to an arbitrator who listens to both sides and then makes a binding decision. Litigation is the process of taking the dispute to court, where a judge (and sometimes a jury) hears the case and issues a ruling. Each method has its own advantages, and we’ll help you choose the approach that best fits your situation.
Can personal assets be at risk in business litigation?

Yes, your personal assets can be at risk in business litigation, depending on how your business is set up and the specifics of the case. For instance, if you’re operating as a sole proprietor or in a general partnership, there’s typically no legal distinction between personal and business assets, which means personal property could be used to satisfy business debts or judgments. Even with corporations or LLCs, certain actions like personal guarantees or wrongful conduct can expose personal assets. We’re here to help you understand these risks and discuss strategies to protect your personal property.
Who can be held liable for construction defects?

Liability for construction defects can fall on several parties involved in the building process. This may include contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers, developers, and even material suppliers, depending on their role and the specifics of the defect. We work closely with you to identify who is responsible and help you take the necessary steps to address the issue.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in South Carolina?

We generally have three years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury claim. This deadline is set by state law and is important because missing it could prevent you from pursuing compensation. We recommend reaching out to us promptly so we can start working on your case and help protect your rights.
