Construction Defect
Our construction defect practice involves the defense of developers, general contractors, product suppliers and subcontractors in construction defect actions brought by owners, developers, builders and Home Owner Associations, as well as cases dealing with single homeowner plaintiffs. We also represent individual trades, vendors and material suppliers whose scope of work involves retaining walls, masonry, framing, wet utilities, excavation, electrical work, HVAC systems, concrete production and placement, foundations, asphalt, drywall, windows and storefront glass installation, doors, roofing, siding and numerous other areas. We are experienced in issues of expansive and settling soil, water damage, and claims of defects in community housing projects and public building roof cases. We work closely with architect and engineering experts to provide an early evaluation of the claims, to evaluate the exposure to our clients, and to explore early opportunities to successfully resolve each case as an early dispute resolution method . However, if a trial is necessary we have tried numerous cases to verdict in courts and in arbitration with an excellent track record of results for our clients.
