Contractor & Construction Disputes
A construction or repair project broke down. Work stopped, quality is disputed, or payment and lien threats now affect the property.
Common Situations
- contractor took deposit and work stalled
- unfinished or defective construction
- price increased without change order
- inspections failed
- mechanic’s lien recorded or threatened
What happens next: Project documents and communications reviewed first to determine responsibility and leverage.
The Real Legal Issue
Construction cases are ongoing performance over time. The question is whether work satisfied the agreement and whether nonpayment was justified.
