General Litigation
The Law Offices of R.S. Kohn, Ltd. handle litigation and arbitrations for plaintiffs and defendants in the following areas: breach of contract, business disputes, and any consumer law fraud.
» Breach of Contract: A legal concept in which a binding agreement or bargained-for exchange is not honored by one or more of the parties to the contract by non-performance or interference with the other party’s performance. Typically, the judicial remedy for breach of contract is monetary damages. Where the failure to perform cannot be adequately redressed by money damage, the court may enter an equity decree awarding an injunction or specific performance.
» Consumer Fraud: In criminal law, fraud is the crime or offense of deliberately deceiving another in order to damage them – usually, to obtain property or services unjustly. Fraud can be accomplished through the aid of forged objects. In the criminal law of common law jurisdictions it may be called “theft by deception,” “larceny by trick,” “larceny by fraud and deception,” or something similar.
