Contract dispute categories

Contractor breach

Started, took payment, walked off. Quality issues. Materials mismatch. Schedule blown without justification.

Service contracts

Cleaning, repair, moving, professional services that were paid for and never delivered (or delivered badly).

Vendor non-performance

Goods ordered and never shipped, wrong specs, refund refused. B2B and consumer both.

Verbal agreements

Many states enforce oral contracts under specific conditions. The simulation tests whether yours is one.

Elements of breach

What you'll need to show

Offer + acceptance

Was there a clear meeting of the minds? Emails, signatures, texts, payment confirmations.

Consideration

Money paid, goods provided, services rendered — what changed hands.

Breach

What specifically didn't happen that the contract required.

Damages

What it cost you. Receipts, replacement quotes, lost time — be specific.

FAQ

Contract disputes, answered

Do I need a written contract to sue?
Not always. Many oral and implied contracts are enforceable, depending on subject matter, value, and state law (Statute of Frauds carves out specific categories that must be in writing). CourtRoom AI tests how strong your evidence of agreement is.
What if the contract was a text exchange?
Texts can be enforceable if they show offer, acceptance, and consideration. We pressure-test how the timeline + payment records line up with the message thread.
How do I prove damages?
Receipts, replacement quotes, invoices from the next vendor you hired, photos of bad work, anything quantifiable. Speculation about lost opportunity is much weaker than documented out-of-pocket loss.
Should I send a demand letter first?
Often yes. A clear written demand creates a record, sometimes resolves the dispute without court, and demonstrates good faith. CourtRoom AI's report can serve as a backbone for one.
What if the contractor is unlicensed?
In many states an unlicensed contractor cannot legally sue you for unpaid work AND may owe you a refund of what you already paid. This is a strong defensive angle — verify your state's licensing statute.

“Why not just use a chatbot?”

Fair question. Here’s what a general AI chat can’t do for a real dispute:

✓ Opposing counsel argues against you
A full multi-agent hearing pressure-tests your case from the other side. A general chatbot mostly agrees with you.
✓ Real citations, never invented
References real court opinions (via CourtListener) and your state's statutes. General chatbots are known to hallucinate case law.
✓ Built on your actual evidence
You upload your real documents and it reasons over them — not a generic, one-off answer.
✓ A case workspace that remembers
Report, evidence, timeline, and a case-aware assistant stay in one place — not a chat you lose.

CourtRoom AI is preparation and education only — not legal advice, and not a substitute for a licensed attorney.
