Conflict Resolution

Your First Line of Defense

When something goes wrong — a service fails to meet expectations, a business partner doesn’t hold up their end, or a verbal agreement unravels — it can be hard to know what to do next. At Crown Counsel Advisory, we offer dispute resolution services designed to help you resolve conflict early, professionally, and without the expense or stress of litigation.

This service is ideal for resolving everyday disputes — whether based on a broken agreement, unmet expectations, or harmful conduct affecting your business or reputation.

Examples of Matters We Handle

Consumer & Service Disputes:

  • A client paid a deposit for a custom prom dress that was never made

  • A mechanic performed an oil change incorrectly, causing damage that later led to major vehicle repairs

  • A consumer received poor-quality hair, nail, or beauty services not up to reasonable workmanship standards

  • A contractor failed to deliver or abandoned a paid home project

  • An event vendor canceled services without refund or delivered substandard work

  • A service provider accepted payment but did not perform any services

How It Works

Required Strategy Session

Not Ready for Court? That’s Okay.

Book a Dispute Strategy Session (60 minutes)
This required session is where it all begins. You’ll meet 1-on-1 with an attorney to unpack the situation and get clarity on your options. Be prepared to share:

  • A timeline of what happened (the who, when, where, and how)

  • Relevant proof like screenshots, emails, contracts, or photos (limit: 3 pages for pre-review)

During the session, we will:

  • Identify any legal claims you may have (in plain English)

  • Discuss potential damages or remedies you could pursue

  • Recommend your best next steps

  • Walk through optional add-on services, like:

    • A professional outreach call to the other party

    • A formal cease and desist, demand letter, or breach notice

This service is built for people who want to resolve issues without court — not escalate them. We help you take smart, confident action before investing time and money into litigation. If your situation later calls for legal escalation, we can discuss pro se options or help you find the right attorney to take things further.
