Contract Disputes and Litigation
TWM Attorneys Practice Area
The Austin civil trial lawyers at Thomas Williams McConnell PLLC have extensive experience with litigation involving the breach of oral and written contracts.
In many cases, a written document is not necessary to establish the existence of a valid and enforceable contract. Unless a contract is governed by the Statute of Frauds, oral agreements are just as enforceable as a written contract.
