40+ Years of Experience in Breach of Contract Disputes
The Watkins Firm has more than 40 years of experience in breach of contract disputes here in San Diego and across the United States. We have helped to resolve literally thousands of business disputes over our decades of service to the San Diego business community. We help our clients to develop the right strategy for the issues at hand, and take practical and effective steps to accomplish their goals.
The fastest and most cost-effective solution when resolving a San Diego breach of contract is to negotiate a resolution to the breach. The Watkins Firm is able to resolve the vast majority of our breach of contract cases through the construction of a comprehensive chronology and a mastery of the associated damages. We use this information to gain the attention of the other party and their counsel for effective, leveraged negotiations.
In some cases, there may be unanticipated challenges or points of principle which cannot be resolved through negotiations alone. The next step is usually the filing of a breach of contract lawsuit and either a settlement conference with the Judge or business mediation. We work to protect our clients interests while continuing to work to resolve the dispute at hand and reach a settlement agreement. Many business contracts specify binding arbitration as an alternative to trial. This is where our proven success at trial and associated legal skills protect and benefit our clients. You only have one shot to succeed in arbitration. The arbitrator has extensive power to determine the process to marshal the evidence and collect testimony in an efficient, focused manner. The matter is usually decided within a few weeks and the decision of the arbitrator is final and cannot be appealed.
The quality, experience and legal skills of your attorneys will make a substantial impact on the successful outcome of your case.
