Contracts are a normal part of business and are designed to ensure everyone keeps up their end of the bargain. However, there are occasions when it becomes impossible to abide by the rules of the agreement, and one party may sue the other for breaking a contract. That is when you need a contract lawyer.
The first thing you should do is contact a trusted contract attorney to discuss the situation. Depending on the laws in your state, you may have only a limited number of days to respond to the filing. The sooner you discuss the situation with your contract lawyer, the better. If you need to file an extension, your attorney can help do that.
