Contract Dispute
Contract Dispute:
A contract dispute is a disagreement between two or more parties over the terms of a contract. Contract disputes can arise in various contexts, including business, real estate, and employment.
In New York and New Jersey, contract disputes are governed by the common law of contracts. The common law of contracts is a set of legal principles that have developed over time through court decisions. These principles easily guide you on how contracts should be interpreted and enforced.
There are many different types of contract disputes. Some of the most common types of contract disputes include:
- Breach of contract: This occurs when one party to a contract fails to fulfill their obligations under the agreement. For example, a breach of contract could occur if a seller fails to deliver goods they have agreed to sell or if a buyer fails to pay for goods they have decided to purchase.
- Misinterpretation of contract: This occurs when there is a difference of opinion about the meaning of a term or provision in a contract. For example, if a contract needs to be clarified about who is responsible for paying for shipping costs, there could be a dispute about the interpretation of the contract.
- An unenforceable contract occurs when a contract is invalid or void for some reason.
For example, an agreement may only be enforceable if it is in writing or if it is signed under duress.

Penalties of Contract Disputes:
- Breach of contract: This occurs when one party to a contract fails to fulfill their obligations under the agreement. The penalties for breach of contract can vary depending on the specific terms of the contract, but they may include:
- Damages: The non-breaching party may be entitled to recover damages for their losses, including actual damages (such as the cost of repairing or replacing damaged goods) and consequential damages (such as lost profits).
- Specific performance: In some cases, the non-breaching party may be entitled to specific performance, which means the breaching party is ordered to fulfill their obligations under the contract.
- Rescission: The non-breaching party may be entitled to rescind the contract, which means that the contract is terminated and the parties are restored to their pre-contractual positions.
- Misinterpretation occurs when there is a difference of opinion about the meaning of a term or provision in a contract. If the parties cannot agree on the purpose of a term, it may be necessary to go to court to have the term interpreted. The court will look at the language of the contract, the surrounding circumstances, and the intent of the parties to determine the meaning of the term.
- An unenforceable contract occurs when a contract is invalid or void for some reason. For example, an agreement may be unenforceable, or if a minor has signed it or if it is unconscionable. A contract must be enforceable for the parties to be able to enforce it in court.
- In addition to the penalties listed above, the parties to a contract may also be subject to statutory penalties. For example, the New York State General Business Law imposes a penalty of $1,000 for each day that a party fails to comply with a provision of the law.

George Dean2022-12-13I’m very grateful for Mr. Sris work to get my alimony payment ended. I retired recently and I could not afford making the payments. Mr. Sris hard work and skills provided me with the results I needed. I’m very grateful to all his staff for their promptly responses to all my inquiries. I will recommend Mr. Sris law office to anybody that is struggling with divorce. I wish I would met him sooner.
R M2020-05-20Mr. Sris was amazing and did an exceptional job representing me in Fairfax Court. He was fully prepared for court, and very pleased with how he presented the case, and with the outcome. Mr Sris and his team were always available throughout the process. Highly recommend!
Kit Siderun2018-04-16Excellent job!!! Mr. Sris and his team were amazing!!! They were very professional and did a wonderful job of preparing everything for my wife and I. Mr. Sris's ability to navigate the system and his knowledge of law prevented the government from splitting up our family. Most people are stuck in immigration court for years, we received a ruling from the judge very quickly in our favor. I am extremely grateful for everything they did. I am so happy we chose them to help us fight for our family. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a no non-sense, diligent, strong and well versed legal team. Note: This is not our first case using this team. This is in fact our 3rd time using the SRIS Law Group and all three had stellar outcomes!
Bob B2015-05-21Mr. SRIS was instrumental in reducing my reckless driving charge. The prosecutor dropped it down to 74/55, but for Mr. SRIS that wasn't enough, he kept fighting for me and got it reduced to defective equipment which resulted in 0 points on my license. An absolutely amazing lawyer who I would 100% use again, and definitely suggest to friends, family and colleagues. Him and his assistant also utilized excellent communication during the entire time leading up to the court date, keeping me well informed and giving me as many recommendations as possible.
Michelle Hyde2014-08-30I chose to go with Sris Law Group to represent me for my child visitation case. There were a lot of complications with the case and several hurdles that we had to deal with, but the attorneys experience and ability to handle my case was phenomenal. The firm employs a staff that is courteous and helpful. In addition, the communication was prompt. I really liked that they were up front about what to expect and did not provide false expectations. The trial went well and I am happy that they were able to represent me. I definitely will go with them again if I have another issue arise.
Tino Machado2013-12-21One of the best law firms in northern VA! This group of attorneys is very professional and honest. The SRIS Law Group represented me in a case in which other attorneys gave me no hope and I must say after the case was over I couldn't thank them enough for their hard work to get me a great deal. I refer family members and friends with great confidence that they will be treated well and will get the best result possible. I have finally found a group of attorneys that are trustworthy and will represent me when in need. If you need an attorney don't waste your time and contact the SRIS Law Group. (((HIGHLY RECOMMEND)))
Naren Chandrasekar2013-09-11Two words! Simply Amazing!!!! I had one of my best experiences working with SRIS. I have worked with different lawyers for my employment and family related visas. But working with SRIS for a Family Visa has been a total new experience. They were very professional with their work. All I had to do was talk on the phone. They sent me the list of the documents needed and when i scanned and sent them, the paper work was all ready. I would totally recommend them for anyone especially for their family visas....
