Business disputes and breach of contract cases can arise in any area of business and involve various legal complexities. A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to perform as agreed, which can lead to legal claims for damages or specific performance. Resolving these disputes often requires a deep understanding of business law, contract law, and dispute resolution methods.

Here’s how the process typically works:

Case Evaluation

We begin by reviewing the contract, the facts of the dispute, and any relevant documentation. Our team assesses your legal standing and the best strategy to resolve the matter.

Negotiation & Settlement

Many business disputes can be settled outside of court through negotiation or alternative dispute resolution methods like mediation. Our attorneys focus on achieving a favorable resolution as efficiently as possible.

If settlement isn’t possible, we take the matter to court. We represent you in breach of contract lawsuits, handling all aspects of the litigation process, from filing the complaint to presenting your case in front of a judge or jury.

If you win a lawsuit, we assist in enforcing the judgment to ensure that the other party complies with the terms of the court’s decision.

If the case involves a ruling that may be subject to appeal, our attorneys help you pursue the appropriate legal channels to challenge the decision and protect your interests.

Greg Moran

Manhattan Beach

I was fired for complaining about an assault by a coworker. Russell Cole and Paul DePasquale sued my employer and got me a very good settlement. They were knowledgeable and cared about my case. I would recommend them to anyone who has a problem at work.

Lyle Fields

Los Angeles

Russell Cole and DePasquale & Cole helped me to again be able to parent my daughter after the court had given her mother full custody with no visitation for me. My case was handled with care and compassion, and a high level of skill. I am very grateful for what they did for me, and cannot thank them enough.

Larry Kaufman

Culver City

DePasquale & Cole have handled several matters for me. They represented me in the Superior Court to challenge the termination of my employment by the City of Los Angeles, and then represented me in the California Court of Appeals. They also went to court to resolve complicated retirement issues which were left over from a difficult divorce.

John Pill

Long Beach

I suspected that I was not being paid commissions owed to me. I called Russ Cole, and DePasquale & Cole handled the case from initial advice through a settlement with my former employer which eventually involved three additional co-workers. Russ and Paul kept me informed, and I was glad to know that they were obviously ready, willing and able to go to trial.

Manuel Crawford

Fontana

DePasquale and Cole got me through two trials in a complex case without a conviction after the DA tried the case a second time after a hung jury. My lawyers knew how to exploit the weaknesses of the prosecution and the police. After that, Paul DePasquale helped me get a judgment at trial in a business case after a former friend ripped me off.
