Construction Litigation

The Law Office of Jeffrey S. Kimmel represents developers, contractors, subcontractors, investors, loan underwriters, vendors, property owners, and others in a wide range of construction litigation matters. Most construction projects are complicated and involve several parties and stakeholders different financial interests.

Contractors often have to front the costs of subcontractor labor, tools, supplies, and other necessities. Developers, investors, and owners similarly incur up front expenses they will expect to recoup.

It can be difficult to obtain financing for these costs, and any delays in the project can be extremely burdensome. But even if you do everything right and enter into well-crafted contracts that offer strong protection for your interests, things can still go wrong, and parties involved can raise disputes, balk at the work product, and refuse to pay.

When such disputes arise, it’s crucial to have seasoned construction litigation counsel in your corner.
