Construction Defect Litigation

We understand the sometimes complex relationships that arise between contractors, subcontractors and homeowners, and will work to resolve disputes efficiently and effectively. Whenever possible, our construction attorney will try to resolve disputes through the use of alternative dispute resolution. This method is often less expensive and contentious than a lengthy court battle.

Our firm represents home owners, commercial building owners, and contractors in construction defect claims litigating to recover for damages or defending allegations that construction project were not completed properly.
