Dedicated Lawyers Protecting Contractors' Rights in Bethesda

As a contractor, your income may depend on the smooth completion of a project from start to finish. Any setbacks or legal disputes on a construction project could have serious ramifications for your livelihood. By working with a Bethesda contractor attorney, you can take action to protect yourself and work out any disputes during a project.

At Salvado Law Offices, we are a proud advocate for contractors' rights in Bethesda. As experienced construction lawyers, we can confidently represent you in disputes with clients and other parties, looking out for your best interests from the beginning of your case to the end. Our lawyers can meet with you one-on-one to discuss your issue and work out an optimal strategy to resolve the problem.

What Can I Do if a Client Will Not Pay for My Work?

Trust between the contractor and client is critical for maintaining a positive business relationship. When a client refuses to pay for contracted work, that bond of trust is shattered. A skilled construction law attorney can help you pursue the payment you deserve for your labor.

At Salvado Law Offices, we believe that you deserve to be paid fairly for the labor you have contributed to a project. With our experience in civil litigation, we can help you take legal action against the client, arguing for fair, full payment in court. However, this is not the only route you can take. Our lawyers can also pursue a solution outside of court, such as negotiating for a settlement with the client. Alternatively, we can seek a mechanic's lien against the client, which can compel them to pay for your work on a project.

Bethesda Construction Law Attorneys Reviewing and Drafting Contracts

Before you start work on a construction job, it is important that both you and your client have a clear understanding of the project. A construction contract details the rights and responsibilities of both parties in a project, which may include:

• The timeline for the project and expected date of completion
• How payment will be handled
• How disputes will be resolved
• The scope of the project and the exact work the contractor is expected to perform

If disagreements arise over the interpretation of the contract, the project could grind to a halt, costing you precious time and money. At Salvado Law Offices, we can represent you in contract disputes to protect your rights and interests. Our firm can defend you against allegations of substandard performance or non-performance, as well as other accusations of breaching the contract like violating a non-disclosure agreement.

There are different avenues to resolve a contract dispute, depending on whether the issue goes to court or not. We can help you choose an optimal course of action, such as seeking injunctive relief or an out-of-court agreement.
