If you are dealing with an ongoing legal dispute, you might consider civil litigation as a means of resolving the matter. With a skilled attorney at your side, you can enjoy the benefits of sound legal advice and strong representation during your case.

At Roberts PC, we represent private individuals and businesses in civil litigation cases, working to help you achieve a fair resolution to your dispute. Our attorneys have over 40 years of experience, and over the course of our firm's history, we have represented lawyers, doctors, business owners, and other professionals, protecting our clients' interests through aggressive negotiation and advocacy in the courtroom.

Contract Disputes

When one party fails to uphold their end of a contract, legal action might be the next step. At Roberts PC, we represent clients accused of violating contracts as well as clients looking to enforce the terms of a contract. Commonly violated contracts include:

• Non-Compete Agreements: When a former business partner or employee goes independent, they may be asked to sign a contract to prevent unfair competition. Non-compete agreements may have time limits or restrictions based on the geographic area where they apply.
• Non-Disclosure Agreements: A confidentiality agreement can be used to protect trade secrets or sensitive information.
• Vendor Contracts: These contracts are used to solidify a business transaction, detailing in exact terms what goods and services the vendor will provide.

If you have been accused of violating a contract, you may be able to argue that the terms were unclear or unreasonable. If you wish to enforce the terms of a contract, our attorneys can push for an appropriate remedy, such as monetary compensation. The court can also call for specific performance in a contract violation, forcing the party who breached the contract to fulfill their obligations as originally required.

Real Estate Litigation

An issue with a real estate property can be a massive source of liability. For example, if there are discrepancies in the title to your property, you may have to litigate a boundary dispute with your neighbor. Our civil litigation attorneys can help you get an assessment of your property lines and negotiate for a favorable share of your property.

You might also have grounds for a lawsuit if your property was wrongfully foreclosed upon by a lender. At Roberts PC, our lawyers can identify errors in processing payments and deceptive practices to help you avoid foreclosure. We will carefully identify the lender's procedures, and if a violation is found, we can help you pursue an appropriate remedy for your damages.

Whistleblower Litigation

If you suspect that a business or individual is committing fraud against the government, you may be able to take legal action in a qui tam lawsuit. A whistleblower in a successful qui tam claim is entitled to a portion of compensation from the lawsuit. This provides regular citizens with an incentive to call out fraud against the government.

Common examples of qui tam lawsuits include healthcare fraud, fraud by military contractors, and fraud by government-funded researchers. Our attorneys can help you build a case for a qui tam lawsuit, helping you take legal action in clear cases of fraud. Our firm regularly works with fraud examiners and forensic accountants who can identify wasteful spending or unethical practices.
