Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I’m involved in a contract dispute?

If you find yourself in a contract dispute, it’s important to gather all relevant documentation and consult with an attorney. At The Witmeyer Law Firm, we can review your contract, assess the situation, and advise you on the best course of action, whether it involves negotiation, mediation, or litigation.

How can I enforce a noncompete agreement?

Enforcing a noncompete agreement can be complex, as these agreements must meet specific legal standards to be upheld in court. Our attorneys can help you determine if your noncompete agreement is enforceable and take legal action to protect your business interests if it has been violated.

What are my rights as a creditor in a business dispute?

As a creditor, you have the right to pursue payment for debts owed to you, even if the debtor is facing bankruptcy. Our firm can represent you in bankruptcy proceedings, collections, and other disputes, working to maximize your recovery and enforce your legal rights.

How much does a consultation cost?

We provide free thirty minute consultations with prospective clients.

How much will my fee be?

Costs are explained during our initial consultation.

How can I pay my fee?

Our Office accepts payments made by cash, check, or card. Cash or checks can be dropped off at the Office, and card payments can be made over the phone.

My case is over, how do I get my file?

The Witmeyer Law Firm retains closed files for six years following the conclusion of representation. A former client can request that their closed file be made available for them to pick up. A release of file must be signed by any former client picking up their file.

Do you have a fee schedule for different type of cases?

We charge hourly fees for most work we do, based on the experience level of the attorney involved. We bill paralegal time at a lower rate per hour. For criminal and traffic cases we generally charge a flat fee, which is a one time fee. We require all of our clients to sign a Retainer Agreement for any fees charged and we also provide an email policy statement.
