Protecting Rights When a Contract Is Broken


When someone breaks a contract, it can threaten your finances, your business, or your peace of mind. The Law Office of Doug Peterson represents individuals and businesses across Northern Kentucky—working to resolve contract breaches quickly and protect what matters to you.

Practical Solutions for Contract Disputes

Contracts are intended to provide clarity and certainty, but disputes can arise when expectations are not met. Disagreements may involve payment terms, scope of services, deadlines, performance standards, or contract interpretation. Addressing these issues promptly helps limit financial loss and prevent further disruption. The Law Office of Doug Peterson works with clients to clarify contract rights and obligations, evaluate available remedies, and pursue resolutions that are fair and efficient—whether through negotiation, settlement, or, when necessary, court proceedings.

Types of Contract Breaches

Nonpayment for Goods or Services
Failure to pay for completed work, delivered goods, or rendered services is one of the most common contract breaches. These disputes often involve unpaid invoices, partial payments, or disagreements over pricing or scope.


Missed Deadlines or Delivery Failures
When a party fails to meet agreed-upon deadlines or does not deliver products or services on time, it can disrupt operations, delay projects, and cause financial loss—especially when timing is critical to the agreement.


Work Not Completed as Agreed
Disputes may arise when work is incomplete, performed poorly, or does not meet the standards outlined in the contract. These situations often involve questions about quality, scope, and whether contractual obligations were fully satisfied.


Violations of Partnership, Employment, or Vendor Agreements
Breaches involving partnership, employment, or vendor contracts can affect ongoing business relationships. Common issues include failure to follow agreed terms, misuse of confidential information, or actions that conflict with contractual responsibilities.
