Our Fees

Our hourly rate, based on our experience and success rate, ranges from $300 to $450 per hour for attorneys and $125 per hour for paralegals. We require an upfront retainer based on the minimum amount of time we expect to spend on your case. Once that retainer is exhausted, we bill monthly for additional time and expenses.

From day one, we send detailed monthly statements showing exactly how our time was spent and what expenses were incurred. You will always know the status of your account and how your resources are being used.

Most business disputes are handled on an hourly basis; however, in certain situations, we are open to considering contingency or blended fee arrangements. Our goal is to create a fee structure that is transparent, fair, and aligned with your objectives.

Contract Disputes

Contract disputes are at the core of most business litigation. Our process is thorough and straightforward. We begin by reviewing the contract to determine whether it is enforceable. There are many reasons why an agreement or particular provision might be invalid or subject to challenge, including unconscionability, lack of consideration, or force majeure. Once enforceability is established, we identify the obligations of each party — what was promised, what was performed, and what was not. We then analyze the default and remedy provisions to understand what happens in the event of breach, which can range from partial breach damages to termination of the contract.

In addition to contract language, we examine relevant Georgia statutes and appellate decisions to see how similar disputes have been resolved. At the conclusion of this process, we provide our clients with an honest and business-based assessment of the likely outcome if the case proceeds to court. We outline a practical game plan to achieve the best result and provide a transparent estimate of the costs involved. Our role is to combine legal precision with sound judgment and steady communication, ensuring our clients understand each step before making important decisions.

Business Dissolutions

When business partners can no longer work together, especially in small business law situations, the situation can resemble a divorce — one that is emotional, complex, and financially significant. A business breakup can threaten not only a company’s future but also an owner’s livelihood and personal relationships.

We guide clients through these difficult transitions with professionalism and empathy. Our attorneys help partners evaluate their rights and responsibilities under corporate documents, negotiate fair exit strategies, and, when necessary, pursue or defend litigation to protect ownership interests, assets, and goodwill.

While we cannot undo the breakdown in a partnership, we can help restore direction and confidence through clear advice and practical solutions. We encourage cooperation when possible, but are fully prepared to advocate aggressively when fairness requires it.

Shareholder and Partnership Disputes

When co-owners no longer see eye to eye, even a successful business can quickly become unstable. Disagreements among shareholders, members, or partners can involve financial management, voting rights, access to records, or the direction of the company itself. These disputes often carry the same emotional weight as family conflicts — they are personal, high-stakes, and affect not only income but reputation and legacy.

We handle partnership and shareholder disputes with a steady balance of strategy and sensitivity. We assist clients in enforcing or defending ownership rights, pursuing claims for breach of fiduciary duty, addressing misuse of funds, and resolving disagreements about profit distributions or management control. When possible, we help the parties reach negotiated solutions that preserve value and minimize disruption. When that is not possible, we are fully prepared to litigate to protect our client’s position.

We believe in professionalism even during conflict. Our approach is to listen carefully, communicate openly, and proceed with humility and confidence. Our goal is not just to win disputes, but to help clients move forward with fairness and peace of mind.

Employment and Non-Compete Disputes

Employment relationships are the foundation of any business, and when they break down, the results can be costly. Georgia law governing restrictive covenants, non-compete agreements, and non-solicitation clauses is particular and often misunderstood.

Whether you are an employer seeking to protect your business or an employee looking to advance in your career, clear guidance and experienced advocacy are essential.

We represent both businesses and individuals in disputes involving employment contracts, confidentiality agreements, trade secrets, and claims of unfair competition. We analyze the enforceability of restrictive covenants under Georgia law, assess the business realities involved, and provide practical advice designed to minimize risk while protecting legitimate interests. In some cases, litigation is necessary to enforce or defend against an injunction; in others, the right letter or negotiation can resolve the issue quickly and efficiently.

We approach every employment dispute with a sense of fairness and respect for all parties involved. Our role is to help clients navigate the legal process thoughtfully, protect what matters most, and achieve a resolution that balances professionalism with compassion.

Breach of Fiduciary Duty

In any business relationship built on trust, the law expects each party to act with honesty, fairness, and loyalty. When someone in a position of responsibility — such as a partner, officer, director, or manager — places personal interests above the company’s, the result can be serious financial harm and lasting damage to professional relationships.

We represent business owners, investors, and companies in disputes involving breach of fiduciary duty, corporate mismanagement, and misuse of business assets. These cases often arise when one party takes funds without authorization, hides financial information, or makes decisions that unfairly benefit themselves at the expense of others.

We begin by carefully reviewing governing documents, financial records, and communications to uncover what happened and why. We then assess whether informal resolution is possible or whether court intervention is necessary to protect our client’s rights. Our approach is deliberate and balanced — firm in protecting our clients, yet respectful of the relationships and reputations involved.

Depending on the size of the business, these can be either a derivative action or a direct action, particularly if the business is small and closely held.

Fraud and Misrepresentation

When a deal is based on false promises or hidden facts, the consequences can reach far beyond financial loss. Fraud and misrepresentation cases strike at the core of trust in business. They require a clear understanding of both the legal elements of fraud and the real-world impact on a client’s livelihood.

We represent plaintiffs and defendants in complex disputes involving fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and deceptive business practices. These cases often arise from false statements in contracts, the concealment of material facts, inflated valuations, or the misappropriation of investment funds. Because fraud claims are serious and fact-driven, we conduct thorough investigations, analyze financial records, and gather evidence that tells a complete and accurate story.

Our attorneys combine courtroom experience with practical business sense. We work to uncover the truth, protect our clients’ interests, and pursue remedies that make them whole — whether through settlement, mediation, or trial.

Collection and Enforcement

Every business relies on being paid for the work it performs. When invoices go unpaid or agreements are ignored, the financial impact can be significant. We represent clients in all types of collection and enforcement matters, from recovering unpaid balances to enforcing promissory notes, guaranties, and judgments.

Our approach begins with a careful review of the underlying contract and the circumstances surrounding nonpayment. We assess whether a demand letter, negotiated resolution, or immediate legal action is the most effective strategy. In many cases, payment disputes can be resolved quickly through firm but professional communication that preserves relationships while protecting our clients’ interests.

Our fee structures for collection matters can be either hourly or a percentage of the amount recovered. We will review the underlying debt and determine which makes more sense financially for your situation.

When litigation is necessary, we act efficiently and decisively — filing suit, securing judgments, and pursuing garnishments, liens, or other lawful remedies. We handle these cases with professionalism and respect, recognizing that even in conflict, fairness and integrity matter.

Tortious Interference and Unfair Competition

Healthy competition drives business growth, but when competitors cross the line into unlawful interference, the damage can be immediate and lasting. Tortious interference and unfair competition claims arise when someone intentionally disrupts a contract, client relationship, or business expectancy for their own gain.

We represent both businesses and individuals in claims involving interference with contracts, misappropriation of client relationships, defamation in business settings, and other unfair practices. These cases often involve fast-moving facts and high stakes, requiring swift analysis and decisive action.

We identify the relationships at risk and evaluate whether the conduct in question violates Georgia law or constitutes legitimate competition. We then work closely with clients to develop a practical plan — whether that means sending a demand letter, seeking injunctive relief, or litigating to protect relationships and goodwill.

Trade Secret Protection

A company’s most valuable assets are often the ones that cannot be seen — client lists, formulas, data, designs, and internal processes that give it a competitive edge. Protecting those assets requires both foresight and decisive action. We help businesses safeguard confidential information and enforce their rights when those protections are violated.

We represent clients in disputes under Georgia’s Trade Secrets Act and related confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements. Our work includes prosecuting and defending claims involving misappropriation, employee departures, data theft, and breaches of confidentiality obligations. We move quickly to assess the risk, preserve evidence, and seek immediate remedies such as temporary restraining orders or injunctions when necessary.

Civil Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO)

The federal RICO Act was originally designed to dismantle organized crime, but over time, it has evolved into a powerful civil remedy for fraud, extortion, and other patterns of unlawful conduct that harm individuals or businesses. Civil RICO allows plaintiffs to pursue treble damages—three times their actual losses—plus attorney’s fees, if they can prove that a person or entity engaged in an ongoing pattern of racketeering activity connected to an enterprise.

Georgia’s RICO statute is even broader than the federal version. It covers a wider range of conduct and applies to more types of enterprises, making it a significant tool in both prosecuting and defending complex commercial disputes.

At Gomez Golomb Graham Goerner & Springer LLP, we prosecute and defend RICO claims in federal and state courts. Our attorneys understand the complexity and high stakes of these cases, where allegations of mail or wire fraud, conspiracy, or other predicate acts can quickly expand routine disputes into major litigation.

Whether we are pursuing recovery for victims of systematic fraud or defending clients accused of racketeering, we approach each case with the precision and strategy these claims demand. We focus on the facts, the pattern, and the proof, cutting through the rhetoric to deliver results.

Insurance Coverage and Indemnity Disputes

Insurance coverage disputes often arise when businesses encounter unexpected losses, lawsuits, or claims and discover that their insurer refuses to cover the costs. Understanding the scope of coverage and the obligations of an insurer or indemnitor requires careful reading of the policy language and an understanding of relevant Georgia law.

We represent policyholders and businesses in disputes involving general liability, property, professional liability, directors and officers coverage, and contractual indemnity obligations. We evaluate coverage exclusions, notice requirements, and reservation of rights letters, and pursue claims for coverage and bad faith when appropriate.

We analyze the facts, assess whether the insurer has met its duty to defend or indemnify, and provide a practical plan for resolution. Many coverage disputes can be resolved through negotiation or mediation; others require declaratory judgment actions or direct litigation.

Every business dispute is different. Some require courtroom advocacy, while others call for strategic negotiation or alternative dispute resolution. Whatever the forum, our approach remains the same — thorough preparation, honest advice, and a steadfast commitment to the people and businesses we serve.

If your business is facing a contract dispute, partnership conflict, or other commercial matter, we are ready to help you navigate the process and move forward with clarity and confidence.
