Construction Law
Arbitration
Arbitration is billed as a more cost-effective and efficient method of dispute resolution than tradition litigation, and has steadily made headway as the sole method of dispute resolution in many construction contracts. While arbitration can be both quicker and cheaper than a judge or jury trial, it is certainly not for the faint of heart. Remember, the arbitrator is selected specifically because he or she is a recognized expert in the subject matter at hand, making the advocate’s job far more narrowly focused, and potentially, the stakes much higher.
I have represented clients through arbitrations big and small, and have carefully studied the “recipe” of successful arbitration outcomes. Call me today to discuss how I can provide the steady hand necessary for your best chance of arbitration success.
Resolution
With or without an arbitration provision, more and more construction contracts require mediation prior to moving on to either binding arbitration or the pursuit of a lawsuit in court. I have participated in hundreds of mediations, with a high rate of successful settlements. My extensive experience representing a wide variety of construction trades provides me with the specialized knowledge & skill set necessary to be an effective advocate and negotiator on behalf of my clients.

Payment Bonds
While Mechanic’s Liens are the bread-and-butter of private construction projects, payment bonds are designed to secure your rightful payments for government contracts and public projects. I have represented contractors all across the Baltimore-Washington Metro on a slew of public projects and bond claims – whether state, county, or municipal. Click here to learn more.
Construction Contract Drafting
The construction contract is the be-all-end-all for nearly every dispute that may crop up during a construction project – which means that your rights & access to fair and expedient payments begin in the negotiation and drafting phases of the contract lifecycle. I routinely handle the negotiation, drafting, and interpretation of construction contracts for all of my clients. Click here to learn more about my contracting services.
