![Contract and Commercial Matters](../images/p11c-img1.jpg)
Contractual disputes, whether between two businesses or between a business and a consumer are filed in the Superior Court, Civil Part.
DEADLINES to file and respond to lawsuits:
To FILE SUIT:
TO file an ANSWER to a lawsuit:
To VACATE a JUDGMENT:
** All of the above are subject to exceptions. You should immediately seek legal advice if you have a question in regard to time limitations. This is not a complete list of statute of limitations.
I handle collection matters, contract disputes, and commercial matters for BOTH plaintiffs and defendants.
If you are being sued, or you expect to be sued, please contact me for a free consultation. I will advise you of your rights and if I can suggest more than one option as to how to handle the matter (what is a good strategy to reduce what is owed?) or how to present a defense (has the person or company suing you complied with the laws protecting consumers?), I would be happy to advise you of my thoughts.
If you failed to respond to a lawsuit, AND NOW HAVE A JUDGMENT AGAINSDT YOU, do not delay. The law limits the amount of time you have to overturn a judgment, and the one year anniversary is a critical date.
