Contracts are the foundation of any professional relationship. But when one side fails to follow through on their obligations, especially when money is involved, the consequences can be costly. If you're a property owner, lender, or funding provider dealing with a party that has broken a payment agreement, you're likely facing a breach of contract situation.
Unpaid debts can quickly disrupt your operations. When reminders and negotiations fail, calling a collections lawyer may be the smartest move. At David I Mizrahi Law P.C., we help businesses pursue unpaid funds through firm, strategic legal action—without wasting time or relying on ineffective third-party collectors.
Here’s what you need to know about breach of contract, how it affects your bottom line, and when it’s time to take legal steps to recover what you’re owed.
A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to meet the obligations outlined in a valid agreement. This can take several forms, such as missed or stopped payments on a commercial lease or funding agreement.
Failure to deliver services or goods after receiving payment, termination of a deal without honoring cancellation terms, or attempting to renegotiate terms after funds have already been advanced. Regardless of how it happens, a breach causes real financial harm, and the longer it’s left unaddressed, the harder it becomes to recover the full amount.
You’ve likely already sent multiple reminders, offered payment plans, or even made phone calls, only to be ignored or given empty promises. Unfortunately, these tactics often delay resolution and let the other party off the hook.
A collections attorney takes a different approach. Instead of negotiating from a position of weakness, your attorney enforces the legal terms of the agreement and pursues immediate remedies like
This legal route is often faster and more effective, especially when significant amounts of money are involved.
Here are some common scenarios that signal it’s time to involve legal support:
If payments stop with no explanation—and your follow-ups are ignored—there’s a good chance the party is either unwilling or unable to pay. Legal action can prompt urgency and prevent the debt from growing.
When the agreement includes specific payment schedules, amounts, and obligations, you have a strong legal basis for recovering the funds.
If the unpaid amount affects your cash flow or operations, it's worth the legal investment to recover it. Many of our clients recover high-value debts that would otherwise go unpaid.
If they’re dodging communication or attempting to move assets, a lawyer can help you act quickly to preserve your ability to collect through legal channels.
Once trust is lost, attempts to resolve the issue informally rarely succeed. Legal involvement provides structure, deadlines, and consequences that encourage resolution.
