Hypothetical question

I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

other party claiming force majeure. I've been dealing with this for about 11 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 4 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $107,000.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

Illustrative response

Reminder that many states have free or low-cost dispute resolution programs run by the state court system. In California, check your county's ADR program — mediation is often available for free or under $200. Much faster than litigation.

The statute of limitations varies by state and contract type. Check yours.

Get everything in writing going forward. Verbal agreements are hard to enforce.
