Contract Law

At the Spence Law Firm we are contract law scholars and trial court veterans of contract litigation.  You can see all of our trial court victories on our results page.  We have put in the time to know and practice the law of contracts in-depth and we leverage this knowledge for our clients every day.  With other law firms you may get a good contract lawyer and you may end up with a ne’er do well or inexperienced lawyer that wastes your time and money.  Go Spence Law and go with a skilled and experienced contract lawyer.

Some of the contract law topics we work with our clients on include:

Attorney’s Fees in Contract Litigation – Whether or not a client can recover the attorney’s fees and costs spent in litigation is a tremendously important consideration.  Attorney’s fees, expert witnesses, deposition transcripts and other costs and expenses can make litigation an expensive endeavor.


Breach of contract law – Florida law on breach of contract is wide-ranging and complex.  We provide a detailed outline of the topic.


Breach of Contract Lawsuits – Under Florida law, when a party files a lawsuit for breach of contract, there are specific documents that must be filed and certain steps that must be taken to prepare the case for trial.


Defenses to Breach of Contract – Just because there has been a breach of contract does not automatically mean that the other side is at fault or must pay damages.  If an affirmative defense applies, then it will excuse a breach.  Other denial defenses may operate in a similar manner.


Termination of Contract – Sometimes things don’t work out as planned and one party to the contract decides it is time for the dance to come to an end.  If the contract is ended before it would naturally expire, then it has been terminated.  There are grounds that support one side terminating a contract and of course, there are grounds upon which a contract cannot be terminated.


Unconscionable Contract – When a contract is so one-sided an unfair to the other party, then a Florida court may find that the contract is unconscionable, which renders it void.


We will add more topics to this contract law section soon.  First up will be a section on contract interpretation issues under Florida law.

Divorce is an emotionally and financially taxing experience. Protecting your assets during this process is key to ensuring a stable financial future for yourself post-divorce. In Florida, the division of assets follows the principle of equitable distribution, meaning that assets will be divided fairly, though not necessarily equally. The equitable distribution approach considers a range of factors to determine what is fair for both parties involved. These factors include the length of the marriage, the economic circumstances of each spouse, contributions to the marriage (both financial and non-financial), and the responsibilities each spouse will have towards any children from the marriage. Understanding the steps you can take to safeguard your assets before and during a divorce can significantly impact your financial standing. The following are some ways to protect your assets during a divorce in Florida:

Custody arrangements can significantly impact both parents and children following a separation or divorce. Understanding the fundamental differences between sole custody and joint custody is essential for making informed decisions that serve the best interests of the child. Sole custody refers to one parent having both legal and physical custody of the child, meaning that parent is responsible for making major decisions about the child's welfare and the child primarily resides with them. In contrast, joint custody involves both parents sharing legal or physical custody, or both, which allows for more balanced involvement in the child's life. Each arrangement has its own set of advantages and challenges, and the right choice depends on various factors including the parents' relationship and the child's needs. Here at The Spence Law Firm, we're dedicated to helping clients in Orlando, Florida, and the surrounding areas through this often stressful process. Let’s break down what these terms mean and how they might impact your family.

In Florida, child custody arrangements are carefully designed to serve the best interest of the child, often involving regular contact with both parents. When one parent plans to move a significant distance away, this established arrangement gets disrupted, necessitating a modification to the custody order. For any move that affects the child’s ability to maintain their established schedule with the other parent, Florida law requires specific procedures to be followed. Whether you’re considering moving or recently learned that your co-parent is planning to move, please consult a family law attorney. Understanding your rights and options will help you prepare for future legal procedures and any dispute that may arise.
