In many cases, legal disputes involving individuals or businesses will seek to recover money that is owed or compensation for damages caused by one party to another. However, disputes that are heard in chancery court will usually involve issues other than monetary demands. Instead, they may involve requests that the court require a person to meet certain obligations, such as fulfilling the terms of a contract.

In addition to helping address contract disputes, we can assist with other matters that may be heard in chancery court, such as guardianships, probate and contested estates, trust litigation, and business or partnership dissolution. We help our clients understand the potential remedies that may be available in their individual situations, and we provide representation when arguing cases before a judge.
