This is a niche within the construction law niche that we are currently set to dominate through value-added services and creative billing models. We also represent a select group of contractors with their contracts and collections/lien issues.



The role involves client contact, supervising and directing the work of legal support staff, and litigating and negotiating on behalf of homeowners and contractors. Our clients have very real-life problems that affect their living situations at home and come to us to help resolve their problems swiftly. So, our goal is to resolve their issues efficiently.

Qualifications:
--- You must be licensed in Florida with construction law experience.
--- Your substantive knowledge includes, and you have experience with, all of the following: legal issues at the heart of the owner-contractor-subcontractor relationships, disputes between homeowners and contractors, construction defects, and construction liens.
