What makes a contract enforceable in Virginia?

A Virginia contract requires offer, acceptance, consideration, and mutual assent. The agreement must be sufficiently definite in its terms.

What is the statute of limitations for a contract claim in Virginia?

A lawsuit for breach of a written contract must be filed within five years; for an oral contract, the limit is three years.

Can I enforce an oral contract in Louisa County?

Yes, oral contracts are enforceable in Virginia provided the essential elements are proved.

For a consultation, contact our firm at (888) 437-7747.
