Contracts are the framework that keeps a business running smoothly. When one party fails to do what it promised, that framework can crack, creating problems for operations, cash flow, and customer relationships. Breach of contract disputes arise every day in Mansfield, whether the issue involves vendors and suppliers, professional service providers, technology partners, or co-owners who no longer agree on the path forward.
If you believe another party has broken its commitments, or if you are being accused of breaching an agreement, Roquemore Skierski can help. Our practice centers on business and commercial litigation. We represent Mansfield business owners and companies at every stage of a dispute, including pre-suit negotiation, mediation, motion practice, trial, and arbitration. We prepare each matter carefully so that negotiations are guided by real courtroom risk and the evidence needed to prove your position.
Selecting counsel is a business decision as much as a legal one. Many lawyers focus on drafting and negotiating contracts, but fewer devote their work to resolving contract disputes when performance breaks down. Our firm is built around litigation and dispute resolution for businesses.
Litigation experience matters. Even cases that settle move through hearings, discovery, and motion practice. These steps require a steady hand and the credibility that comes from trial readiness. We have taken contract disputes to verdict and to arbitration award. That experience helps us create leverage, streamline issues, and negotiate from a position of strength while preserving your ability to try the case if needed.
Contracts are designed to reduce uncertainty and allocate risk. When a counterparty does not perform, decisive action is important. Our Mansfield breach of contract lawyers handle disputes involving:
In every matter we evaluate contract language and defenses, identify pressure points, and outline a path that protects working capital, relationships, and reputation.
A breach of contract claim is a legal action with defined elements. To succeed in Texas, the claimant must show that a valid contract existed, that the claimant performed or had a legally recognized excuse, that the other party failed to perform, and that this failure caused damages. Proving these elements requires careful review of the agreement, surrounding communications, business records, and a damages model that ties the breach to measurable financial harm.
Not all breaches are the same, and the category often guides strategy and remedies.
Identifying the correct category helps determine available remedies and how damages should be calculated.
Texas law offers several forms of relief, and the right combination depends on the contract and the facts.
When a sale of goods is at issue, the Texas Uniform Commercial Code strengthens buyer protections. Nonconforming shipments may be rejected in whole or in part, and acceptance may be revoked if hidden defects substantially impair value. Prompt use of these remedies can limit losses and improve negotiating leverage.
Most contract disputes resolve before a jury verdict through focused negotiation, mediation, or summary judgment. Trial preparation remains essential. When the other side sees that your evidence is complete, witnesses are prepared, and legal arguments are well developed, the risks of pressing forward become clear. That recognition often leads to earlier and better outcomes.
Our process is practical and transparent. We confirm your objectives, analyze the agreement and potential defenses, quantify damages in a way that business owners and courts can follow, and choose the forum that best serves your goals, whether district court or arbitration. We communicate clearly about options and tradeoffs and press for resolutions that protect cash flow and key relationships while preserving your right to try the case.

Minority and majority owners may disagree about dividends, information rights, governance, or dilution. We pursue solutions grounded in bylaws, shareholder agreements, and Texas law.
Missed milestones, substandard work, or nonpayment can quickly disrupt operations. We act to stop the damage and pursue recovery.
