You want to sue someone, now what?
Your borrower fails to pay off the balance of the loan when it is due. Your business partner stole some money from you two's joint venture. Your general contractor messed up the construction of your house. Your supplier sold you defective goods. The company you purchased shares of stock from lied to you about the material facts of the business and tricked you into making your equity investment. This list can go on and on.
To initiate a civil lawsuit, you should bear in mind the statute of limitations imposed on your potential claims. The statute of limitations sets the deadline for you to file your lawsuit. It varies depending on the nature of your claims. Please contact us to schedule a free consultation with our attorneys to evaluate your causes of action.
