Breaking Ground in Construction Law.
Construction projects involve numerous moving parts—and with them, the potential for a wide range of legal disputes. In addition to lien and bond claims and delay-related issues, parties often face conflicts over scope changes, defective work, payment disputes, change orders, contract termination, and warranty claims. Our board-certified construction law attorneys provide strategic counsel and representation in all aspects of construction contract disputes. With over a decade of experience, they assist clients with a wide variety of issues.

Construction Dispute Resolution & Litigation
Lien & Bond Claims
In Florida, lien and bond claims are vital mechanisms for securing payment in the construction industry. Our firm advises contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and property owners on the complex requirements of Florida’s Construction Lien Law (Chapter 713, Florida Statutes). We prepare and enforce valid mechanic’s liens, ensuring strict compliance with notice and filing deadlines—including Notices to Owner (NTOs) and Claims of Lien. For public projects where liens are not permitted, we assist with payment and performance bond claims under Florida’s Little Miller Act. Whether pursuing payment or defending against improper claims, we protect your interests with precision and efficiency
Delay Claims
Construction delays can lead to significant financial consequences and disputes. In Florida, delay claims involve identifying the cause of the delay, allocating responsibility, and determining the resulting impact on project timelines and costs. Our construction law attorneys represent owners, contractors, and subcontractors in analyzing delay events—whether caused by weather, design changes, labor shortages, or site conditions—and in pursuing or defending claims for additional time, compensation, or liquidated damages. We help clients navigate contract provisions, notice requirements, and documentation standards essential to successfully resolving delay-related disputes.
Contract Disputes
Construction projects often face a range of contract disputes beyond lien and delay claims, including issues related to scope changes, defective workmanship, non-payment, termination, change orders, and breach of warranty. These disputes can quickly escalate without skilled legal guidance. Our board-certified construction law attorneys bring specialized knowledge and experience to help clients resolve these conflicts efficiently—through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation. We work to protect your contractual rights, minimize disruption, and achieve favorable outcomes with strategic, legally sound solutions.
Insurance and Surety Issues in Construction Litigation
Insurance coverage and surety bond disputes are common and often complex aspects of construction litigation. Whether dealing with coverage denials, additional insured status, or claims under performance and payment bonds, these issues can significantly impact project outcomes and financial recovery. Our construction law firm is experienced in navigating insurance policies, tendering defense, and pursuing or defending surety bond claims—particularly under Florida’s complex statutory and contractual framework. Hiring a firm with focused construction law expertise ensures your rights are protected, claims are properly managed, and you’re positioned for the best possible resolution.
