Frequently Asked Questions
What is a claim for payment?
A claim for payment is a legal action to demand payment of debts arising from civil transactions, such as loans, unpaid invoices, or advances.
What is required to file a claim for breach of contract?
It is essential to have the original contract, evidence of breach, and the amount of damages. Our attorneys review the entire case file before taking any action.
What is the difference between civil and criminal proceedings?
Civil proceedings are used to seek compensation for damages, debts, or breaches of contract between individuals or businesses. Criminal proceedings are initiated when crimes have been committed (fraud, forgery, embezzlement).
How long does a civil proceeding take?
It depends on the complexity: a simple claim may take months, while property disputes or the division of assets may take longer. However, we seek out-of-court solutions to expedite the process.
Can I file a claim for damages without a contract?
Yes, it is also possible to file a claim for damages resulting from non-contractual torts, provided there is evidence of harm and of the third party’s liability.
