Statutes of limitation make it important that you hire a lawyer as soon as you can. Doing so allows time for complex settlement negotiations and thoughtful trial planning.

Whether your contract dispute hinges on one word or an overall lack of clarity, you may find yourself in a difficult legal spot. A knowledgeable attorney can resolve such disputes, often without taking your case all the way to court. Hiring experienced legal counsel to handle settlement negotiations or to litigate your dispute can relieve the stress of a drawn-out conflict, save relationships, and prevent further damages.

Our attorneys seek equitable agreements that allow work to continue and relationships to remain intact. When a trial can’t be avoided, our attorneys prepare vigorously and fight aggressively to protect your interests or those of your business.

“Statutes of limitation” are time limits on when businesses and individuals can file a lawsuit against another party. Tully Rinckey PLLC’s understands how statutes of limitation apply to your legal matter. Our lawyers have managed cases in courts at every level, and they keep cases on track and on time.

Some statutes of limitation are triggered when a violation or issue was first discovered. Others start when the violation or issue first took place. Since federal and state courts apply statutes of limitation nearly without exception, you should consider hiring legal counsel as soon as you can to make sure you don’t exceed these statutes.

Property owners and developers may have a grievance with a construction company over work poorly performed or work that doesn’t meet the requirements of the contract. Construction company owners may have a legal issue over not getting paid for work their company properly completed. In either of these cases, or in other instances where construction law applies, hiring a capable construction litigator can help to resolve these disputes.

A breach of contract is a failure to perform any promise, in full or in part, contained in a contract. This includes failing to meet industry standards or not living up to a warranty, whether it’s express or implied.

Debtors and creditors both have much at stake in bankruptcy litigation. That’s why it’s critical to hire a capable law firm to handle your case.

We argue your side of the case as persuasively as possible, protect your rights, and seek the best financial outcome possible.

Land use and property disputes can put the value of your property at risk or even jeopardize your ownership interest.

Disputes between tenants and landlords sometimes rise to the level of litigation, with one party suing the other for damages. If you are a tenant and you believe you have suffered damages from a residential or commercial landlord, you may need to hire a knowledgeable lawyer to help you recover your loss. If you are a landlord experiencing damages caused by a tenant, you may consider the services of an experienced real estate litigator to represent you or your business.

A breach of warranty can be said to occur when a product or service doesn’t live up to customer expectations. It could be that the product performs differently from its advertised or expected capability – a warranty of fitness breach – or the product doesn’t work for its intended purposes –  a warranty of merchantability breach. A warrant of merchantability is an implied warranty that doesn’t need to be written or spoken.

If you have suffered a breach of warranty and have sufficient damages, you should consider hiring a capable law firm to help you in getting your money back or in otherwise protecting your consumer rights. The experienced attorneys at Tully Rinckey PLLC can represent you against companies that fail to make good on their promises, whether they are express or implied. We negotiate settlements if possible, and take your case to court if agreement can’t be suitably achieved.

Along with providing products or services to customers comes the responsibility to deliver on promises made. Companies and individuals are required by law to offer products or services that satisfy the agreement they make with customers, whether it’s express or implied. Customers who are injured by a product or service, or who have realized other damages, have the right to sue the providing company. Of course, certain customers may sometimes make frivolous or fraudulent claims as well. If you are involved in any kind of products and services claim, you need an attorney who understands the law and can protect your interests.

The legal team of Tully Rinckey PLLC know how products and services liability lawsuits work. We acknowledge that such claims often involve damages caused by a manufacturing or design defect in a product, or that the warnings on a product or service may be inadequate or missing entirely (a “failure to warn” assertion). Our lawyers evaluate the merits of your case and can determine when a customer has gone too far in making unsubstantiated or undeserved claims.

Our lawyers are skilled at negotiating settlements that offer a speedy resolution to the dispute and that protect your company’s reputation from harm. If a settlement is unachievable, our trial-tested litigators are ready to take your case to court. In cases where the first judgment isn’t reasonable to you, we consult with you on whether an appeal is warranted and can represent you there as well.

Tully Rinckey litigators have represented many different products and services companies, including manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, and retailers. We have stood beside clients in any number of complex cases, such as:

• The defense of a commercial grass mower manufacturer, in which a worker received a serious head injury after accidentally overturning a mower

The litigators at Tully Rinckey negotiate settlements, represent you in the courtroom, and protect your interests at every stage of the legal process.
