Contract Claims

Another aspect of our practice is the drafting and foreclosure of mechanics' liens and the enforcement or defense of construction claims through alternative dispute resolution such as mediation and/or arbitration, or through litigation. We file and enforce mechanics' liens for many of our contractor, subcontractor, and supplier clients. We prosecute claims under performance and payment bonds. We obtained a $1.8 million directed verdict for a highway construction subcontractor against the general contractor and surety companies based on claims for extra work related to Interstate 81 improvements. We are currently engaged in various claims settlement and mechanic's lien defense/foreclosure proceedings for numerous clients.
