Commercial Litigation

As part of its civil law practice, The Miller/Salsbury Law Firm has successfully represented many small and midsize businesses in their commercial loss claims against other businesses and insurance companies. These types of cases may include such matters as:

·         Property Damage Claims arising from fire, explosions, and product failure

·         Business Interruption Claims

·         Construction Law Claims

·         Breach of Contract Actions

·         Interference with Contract or Business Expectancy

·         Debt Collection

·         Employment Law Cases

The Miller/Salsbury Law Firm has succeeded in settling many of the business law claims brought to our firm without the necessity of filing suit; however, because we are a firm of trial lawyers with considerable litigation experience, we bring the advantage of that perspective to our analysis of every business legal matter entrusted to us for handling. Moreover, where litigations is required we have a reputation for zealously pursuing the interests of our client whether that be in the defense of a claim, or in the prosecution of the claim of our client who has been damaged.

Many of our clients have come to appreciate the consistently cordial and attentive attitude that we strive to foster in every attorney client relationship. Clients also seem to like the fact that our law firm is ready to undertake representation of businesses in their claims for damages on contingent fee agreements, such that our fee for legal services is contingent upon our making a recovery for our business client. Under this arrangement, no attorney fee is charged if we are successful in bringing about a recovery  for our business client, and where we are successful in obtaining money for our client, the amount of our law firm’s fee is directly proportional to the amount of the recovery obtained. The expenses incurred in connection with prosecuting the claims may be owed irrespective of outcome, but our willingness to take on commercial claims for our clients on a contingent fee rather than an hourly fee or flat fee basis enables small and midsize businesses to afford pursuit of commercial claims that might otherwise be too costly to assert. Prospective business clients are invited to call to schedule an appointment for a free consultation concerning their commercial claim or dispute.
