Contract breaches are common in a fast-moving market like Dallas. Manufacturers, healthcare systems, logistics operators, and professional practices depend on clear promises, yet many disputes start with something ordinary such as an unpaid invoice, a shipment that misses the window, or work that falls short of the agreed standard.
If you are confronting a broken commitment or facing an allegation that you breached an agreement, speak with Roquemore Skierski. Our practice centers on business and commercial litigation. We represent Dallas owners and companies from the first demand through trial and arbitration, and we prepare each case as if a jury will hear it so negotiations are guided by real courtroom risk.
Our lawyers have handled contract litigation in Dallas County district courts and in arbitration forums across Texas. We know how to establish the elements of a claim, present damages in a way that judges and juries can follow, and use attorney-fee statutes to influence settlement. Most matters resolve without a verdict, and strong trial preparation is often why they resolve on favorable terms.
Choosing the right lawyer is essential when your business reputation or financial stability is at stake. Many attorneys handle contracts only on the drafting or transactional side, but few focus primarily on contract disputes and litigation. Our firm’s practice is built on representing clients when agreements fall apart.
Litigation experience matters. Even though most cases settle before reaching a verdict, every dispute moves through critical stages—motions, hearings, discovery, and negotiations—that require a steady and informed approach. We have tried and arbitrated contract cases to conclusion, and that experience allows us to create leverage early in the process. When the opposing side sees that your case is fully prepared, meaningful settlement discussions often follow.
Contracts exist to create predictability and reduce uncertainty. When those promises are broken, you need a clear understanding of your rights and options. Our Dallas breach of contract attorneys assist clients in disputes involving:
Each matter receives a tailored approach designed to protect your contractual rights and advance your business objectives efficiently and effectively.
A breach of contract claim is more than a disagreement—it is a legal cause of action with defined elements that must be proven in court. To succeed on such a claim in Texas, a party must show that:
Establishing each of these elements requires careful review of the contract language, supporting documents, and communications between the parties. Our firm works closely with clients to build the factual record and present their case in a clear, credible, and persuasive way.
Not all breaches are alike. Texas law recognizes several categories, each carrying different implications for how a case should be handled.
Understanding which type of breach applies helps determine what remedies are available and how damages should be calculated.
When a contract is violated, Texas law provides several remedies that may be used separately or in combination, depending on the nature of the agreement and the harm caused.
For contracts involving the sale of goods, the Texas Uniform Commercial Code provides additional protections. Buyers may reject nonconforming shipments in whole or in part, or revoke acceptance if latent defects are later discovered. Acting promptly under these provisions can strengthen your position and limit further loss.
While trial is sometimes necessary, most breach of contract disputes resolve beforehand through settlement, mediation, or summary judgment. However, preparing as if trial will occur is essential. Well-prepared cases create leverage—when opposing parties see that the evidence is complete, witnesses are ready, and the legal arguments are solid, they are more likely to reach a fair resolution without the need for a jury.
Our process begins with understanding your goals. We analyze the contract terms, assess the legal and financial implications of different strategies, and build a roadmap for resolution that aligns with your business objectives. Whether your case is best suited for court or arbitration, our focus remains the same: protecting your interests while achieving efficient, cost-effective results. We communicate clearly, provide regular updates, and ensure that every decision supports your long-term success.
Our Dallas breach of contract lawyers help businesses handle a wide contract disputes
Disagreements between partners or members can threaten the future of a business. We handle cases involving profit-sharing, management control, fiduciary duties, and misuse of company assets.
Shareholders often face conflicts regarding dividends, access to corporate records, or allegations of majority oppression. We advise clients on how to enforce shareholder rights and resolve disputes while protecting the company’s value.
When a party simply fails to perform, whether by missing deadlines or refusing payment, we pursue recovery through negotiation or court action to minimize business disruption.
A material breach strikes at the core of the agreement and often justifies termination. We evaluate your legal options and seek remedies that address both immediate and long-term consequences.
If another party has made it clear they will not perform as promised, we can act quickly to preserve evidence, mitigate damages, and prepare for enforcement or defense.
