  Construction Expertise

  The firm’s expertise extends far beyond the courtroom. A reputable network of construction experts – architects, civil and structural engineers and geo-technical advisors – investigate, evaluate, and, if necessary, testify in each case. These experts are recognized by well-known industry practitioners and highly regarded by developers, contractors, subcontractors and insurance companies alike. Many times, construction deficiencies manifest themselves through leaking roofs, doors and windows; cracking dry wall, floors, stucco and concrete; and difficult to operate windows and doors. These are often symptoms of deeper, more costly defects. Through questionnaires and investigations, our construction experts help uncover the extent of these defects and more.
