CONSTRUCTION LAW 

Our firm is committed to providing effective representation to both homeowners and developers, contractors, architects, and others in the construction field. 

• Contract Review

Problems usually begin with an inadequate contract that has not been reviewed prior to signing. Well-crafted contracts prevent problems down the line.  Our attorneys assist in reviewing construction contracts ensuring that both parties know exactly what they are agreeing to.

• Dispute Resolution

Sometimes the best answer is not litigation. We are very experienced in helping you make problems disappear through alternatives such as negotiation, mediation or arbitration. These alternatives can save you years of frustration and lots of money.

• Litigation

 Despite the best of intentions, sometimes issues arise. If a dispute cannot be amicably resolved, we are experienced litigators. Our team has experienced, successful attorneys ready to achieve solid client results in a lawsuit.

• Regulatory Compliance

Staying abreast of ever-changing construction regulations is critical. Our team provides guidance on regulatory compliance, helping clients navigate the complex web of local, state, and federal construction laws.
