Our Construction Disputes Process
Initial Meeting
First, we meet with you to discuss your objectives. During the meeting, we will give you preliminary advice on your dispute. We are here to protect and promote your interests.
Information gathering
After our initial meeting, we will ask you to send us all the relevant documents for review. Based on the documents you provide, we will give you clear and substantive legal advice on your rights, liabilities and options.
Up Front Price Range
Once we understand the scope of your case, we may be able to provide you an upfront cost range so that you have a transparent understanding of our pricing before we proceed.
Negotiation on Your Behalf
Then, we negotiate with the other party. If negotiation isn’t an option, we will prepare the relevant documents (court documents or letters) to file in court or send to the other party.
Attend Court or Mediation
If the matter can’t be negotiated, we will attend court or mediation on your behalf to attempt a resolution. Our advocacy approach is purposeful, determined, and unwavering for every case.
