Mechanics’ Lien Enforcement

When you’ve done the work, you deserve to be paid. We move quickly to secure and enforce mechanics’ lien rights, ensuring contractors and subcontractors have the leverage needed to recover what they’re owed. From preserving lien rights to aggressively pursuing enforcement, we take decisive action to protect your payment on the project.

Breach of Contract Claims

Broken contracts, unpaid change orders, and project delays can have serious financial consequences. We represent contractors and subcontractors in holding owners, developers, and upstream parties accountable for failing to meet their obligations. Our focus is simple: enforce your contract rights and recover the compensation you earned.

Surety & Bond Litigation

On bonded projects, payment and performance bonds are often the fastest path to recovery—but only if pursued correctly. We represent contractors and subcontractors in making and enforcing bond claims against sureties, ensuring that valid claims are taken seriously and paid. When necessary, we litigate aggressively to compel payment under the bond.
