Whether you own a small to medium-sized business or have management responsibilities in a large corporation, there will always be relationships and transactions that can generate legal problems for your company, including an unpaid debt, a breach of contract, a complex dispute arising from a commercial transaction, or a conflict with a business partner or shareholder. If you are facing a legal problem that you have been unable to resolve on your own, despite your best efforts, or if your business has been sued, it is very important that you promptly select an experienced and competent lawyer to protect your interests.
For over thirty years, I have been helping businesses in Alabama and across the country resolve disputes arising from contracts, business relationships and commercial transactions, frequently without having to resort to litigation. Although litigation is inevitable in many cases, it is also avoidable in others; but achieving that objective generally requires the early involvement of a skilled and determined advocate. If you have a problem or dispute that may be, or has already proven to be, difficult to resolve on your own, then please call me or send me an email so that we can discuss the facts and develop a strategy to resolve it without litigation or, if necessary, to file suit.
I have been providing vigorous and effective representation to businesses for three decades in state and federal courts throughout Alabama. From disputes involving single-issue claims to those arising from complex, multi-party transactions, my Alabama breach of contract and business litigation practice (1) remains focused on developing and implementing a coherent, tailor-made strategy for each case and (2) features a goal-oriented tenacity designed to achieve my client's objectives in as prompt and cost-effective a manner as possible. My overriding goal in every case is to deliver the results that are expected from an experienced lawyer; and an important part of consistently reaching that goal includes clear and frequent communication with my client and strong teamwork.
I have a solid history of successfully handling disputes and litigation involving a wide array of businesses and relationships, including, but not limited to, accountants, borrowers and lenders, contractors and subcontractors, debtors and creditors, design professionals, developers and owners, distributors and manufacturers, employers and employees, investors and investment firms, partners and shareholders, realtors and real estate agents, retail and wholesale establishments, and suppliers and vendors, on issues arising under contract, commercial and business tort law. My services also include representation in mediation and arbitration.
Commercial Collections / Creditors' Rights and Remedies
If you have not been paid as agreed in connection with a business transaction, or if you believe that receiving full payment is in jeopardy, then please call me or send me an email so that immediate steps can be taken to obtain full payment. My Alabama commercial collection practice includes assisting creditors with the following matters, among others:
- Collection of debts arising from business transactions;
- Collection of debts under loan agreements, promissory notes, leases and personal guarantees;
- Fraud and misrepresentation arising from false or misleading financial statements;
- Piercing the corporate veil; and
- Setting aside fraudulent transfers of property.
Delay can seriously limit or destroy your ability to collect the full amount owed; so please act promptly to protect your interests.
If you have been sued for collection of a business-related debt and believe you have a viable defense to the claim or are interested in negotiating a settlement, then please call me or send me an email so that immediate steps can be taken to evaluate your position and protect you from unnecessary financial loss.
Although the largest percentage of my clients are located in Jefferson County (including Birmingham, Bessemer, Homewood, Hoover, Hueytown, McCalla, Mt. Brook and Vestavia Hills) and Shelby County (including Chelsea, Columbiana, Helena, Pelham and Riverchase), Alabama, a considerable number reside in or have principal offices located in States across the country, including California, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. Another significant portion of my practice is derived from lawyer referrals, including serving as local counsel in Alabama for out-of-state litigants and handling matters in Alabama for in-house counsel.
If you need an experienced Alabama business litigation lawyer who will diligently and effectively protect your best interests, while also providing greater value than the big firm model, then please call me or send me an email so we can get to work on solving your problem.
