Construction Disputes & Litigation

Unfortunately, disputes and accidents are realities on construction projects, often resulting in the need for dispute resolution, arbitration or litigation.  As experienced trial lawyers, we have handled post-construction disputes involving such matters as mechanic’s liens, cost overruns, and delay claims. We have also handled many large, multi-party construction defect, property loss, and catastrophic injury claims in venues throughout the country.  These claims involve water intrusion, mold, fire damage, defective building products, design errors, structural and mechanical issues, regulatory issues, and catastrophic injury and wrongful death claims. Through years of handling these claims, we have developed close working relationships with architects, engineers, contractors, industrial hygienists, and medical experts to assist in the evaluation and resolution of a dispute.  These experts provide a realistic assessment of a claim’s strengths, enabling us to collaborate with the client to determine the best course of action. We are mindful that, although we are willing to prepare and take any dispute to trial, alternative dispute resolution, such as mediation, arbitration, and other creative problem-solving methods are often the best and most cost-efficient dispute resolution strategy.
