"BUILT ON EXPERIENCE"

We have tenaciously helped hundreds of construction contractors and subcontractors with their legal needs, including mechanic’s liens, bond claims, arbitration and state and federal lawsuits.  Our governing philosophy is a firm belief in fairness throughout the construction and contracting process - both as between owners and contractors, and general contractors and subcontractors.    ​

CONSTRUCTION LAW

CONSTRUCTION LITIGATION

We regularly review, modify and negotiate construction contracts and subcontracts, ensuring our clients are treated fairly right from the start.   And it doesn't end there - we are often called upon to assist in the negotiations of change orders, and to craft claims for delay, extras, and other job-related issues that have unfairly increased our client's costs.

GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS

Doing business with the government, whether at the municipal, school, state or federal level, has its own set of unique rules and regulations.  We have the experience necessary to properly analyze, draft and prosecute bid protests where appropriate.  A regular part of our practice is crafting claims for equitable adjustment, and litigating them if necessary.  Here too, we have successfully represented numerous clients at the state and federal level courts and boards of contract appeals.   

Our litigation experience runs the gamut - from run-of-the-mill mechanic's liens  and payment bond actions to more complex situations including delay, acceleration and active job-site interference.  In both court and arbitration settings, we have taken on the cases other firms shy away from - and have reaped tremendous success for our clients. 

BUSINESS LAW

We represent a variety of businesses and individuals on matters other than construction, as well.  We have developed a particularized niche in business separation; negotiating or litigating, if necessary, the separation between former principals in both closely held, often family businesses, as well as third party business scenarios.  Time and again, our clients rely on our accessibility and expertise in navigating an often unclear path forward.  A trusted consigliere, if you will.

"Our top priority is to be accessible to our clients because, when you need legal help, you need it now.....  our clients know that they can expect our full attention, as well as a reasoned, efficient and affordable path toward resolution."
