Construction Law & Litigation
A deadline-driven construction problem needs a construction attorney.
Liens, defects, delay, and payment disputes turn on dates and documents. Get your matter in front of a Board Certified construction firm before a deadline decides it for you.
- A construction lien deadline is approaching (Notice to Owner, 90-day claim of lien, or one-year enforcement).
- You are facing a construction defect, delay, or scope dispute.
- A payment is being withheld up or down the contracting chain.
- A contract needs review before you sign, or enforcement after a breach.

FAQ
Common questions
This describes how the firm generally works and is not legal advice. What applies to your matter depends on its specifics. For advice on your situation, contact us.
Who does the firm represent in construction matters?
Every tier of a project: owners, developers, general contractors, subcontractors, design professionals, and sureties. Work spans commercial, residential, and infrastructure projects across Florida.
Does the firm work on both sides of lien disputes?
Yes. The firm pursues and defends claims of lien, bond claims, and unpaid invoices under Florida's Construction Lien Law.
Does the firm handle payment bond claims?
Yes, including both payment and performance bond claims.
What kinds of construction disputes does the firm take on?
They include, but are not limited to, payment and lien disputes, delay and disruption claims, construction defect issues involving design, workmanship, and materials, and scope and change order conflicts.
Is there a flat fee for straightforward lien work, or is it hourly?
Fees depend on the complexity of the matter. Construction lien work is generally billed hourly with a retainer, in line with how the firm handles most litigation matters.
If someone calls with a deadline close, how quickly can the firm step in?
Once you provide us with enough information, needed documentation, and financial arrangements are agreed upon, we can begin working right away.
What should I have ready for a construction consultation?
It helps to have your contract, recent invoices, any notices you have served or received (such as a Notice to Owner or Notice of Commencement), and the key dates for the project, including your first and last days of furnishing labor or materials. Even a rough timeline lets the firm assess deadlines quickly.
What happens after I contact the firm?
A member of the firm reviews your submission and follows up to discuss the matter and next steps. Sending the form does not create an attorney-client relationship, so please do not include confidential details until the firm has confirmed it can represent you. Services are available in English and Spanish.
