Thorough legal professionals provide knowledgeable advice and advocacy

Establishing fault in construction cases often requires specialized knowledge of industry practices and standards.

Proven counselors advise on mediation and arbitration

Often, parties can avoid the expense and stress of litigation by making use of alternative means of resolution, such as mediation and arbitration. Moreover, many construction contracts have clauses that require nonbinding or binding arbitration to resolve disputes. Our attorneys have experience representing parties in arbitration and mediation proceedings. We seek to negotiate lasting solutions that save our clients time and money and allow them to get their projects back on track.

Established attorneys seek fair compensation

If you have been harmed by a construction defect or a contractor's or subcontractor’s failure to perform, we will press for compensation to cover:

  • Actual damages, including the past and future costs of repairing and restoring your damaged property, and any contents damaged due to the defect (such as water damage caused by faulty plumbing)
  • Compensation for the loss of the use and enjoyment of your property, including inconvenience, aggravation, and discomfort
  • Compensation for appraisal fees, storage charges and cleaning costs incurred
  • Compensation for the reasonable cost of rental of similar property during periods when your property could not be used

  • Interest on your damages as permitted by law
  • Attorney fees and costs if provided for in your contract or under Texas law
