Civil Litigation

At Ivey, Barnum & O'Mara, LLC, we know that civil litigation can affect anyone, not just business owners or professionals. Civil litigation matters comprise a broad area of the law that includes a wide variety of concerns and issues. In most cases, a party who has allegedly been wronged will file a claim to seek monetary damages or another type of remedy to rectify the situation. The matter is handled in civil court, which means that defendants will not face criminal penalties such as incarceration. Depending on the scope and circumstances of the case, however, an adverse decision by the court could have a dramatic impact on a person's life.

At our firm, we handle a wide variety of civil litigation cases, including probate matters, zoning and land use, construction disputes, landlord-tenant concerns and disagreements over contractual terms and obligations. We begin each case by carefully analyzing the situation and developing a strategy designed to maximize our client's chances of success. With many decades of litigation experience, our attorneys are equipped to work with both individuals and business entities to ensure that our clients' best interests are fully protected.

Contract Disputes

A contract is an agreement that is enforceable under the law. While most contracts are written and signed by all of the interested parties, oral contracts can also be enforced in certain situations. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for one party to fail to fulfill the obligations agreed upon in the terms of the contract. When this happens, a dispute may arise over how the issue will be resolved. Contract disputes may be resolved through mediation or arbitration, but in many cases, litigation is necessary.

At Ivey, Barnum & O'Mara, LLC, we handle disputes related to all types of contracts, including employment contracts, confidentiality agreements, non-compete agreements, purchase contracts, vendor/supplier agreements, and many more. Our experienced contract law attorneys are equipped to help you protect your rights, whether you were harmed by another party's failure to comply with a contract or you have been accused of breaching an agreement. We will work with you in exploring your available options, and we will remain at your side throughout the process.
