Partnership Agreement Dispute — vendor missed delivery deadline

I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

vendor missed delivery deadline. I've been dealing with this for about 9 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 20 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $28,000.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

Attorney here. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under UCC Article 2. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct a material breach.

The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

I've dealt with this before.

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.
