Damascus, MD Contractor Lawyer

Experienced Attorneys for Contractors' Rights in Damascus, Maryland

Any individual construction project may involve the intersection of several complex laws. The completion of a construction project can also hinge on both the contractor and the client fulfilling their end of the contract. If you are experiencing legal difficulties as a contractor, a Damascus construction law attorney can provide you with advice and representation to protect your best interests.

At Salvado Law Offices, our lawyers offer comprehensive legal services to contractors in a variety of issues, including nonpayment of work, disputes over construction defects, and risk management. When you work with our firm, we will review your case carefully and work toward an optimal outcome on your behalf.

Allegations of Construction Defects

If your client accuses you of having left a defect in the finished project, you could be held liable for repairs or compensation for damages. This can easily add up to thousands of dollars in losses, so it is critical that you defend yourself against claims of construction defects. Common examples of defects may include structural issues, leaks, and foundational problems.

At Salvado Law Offices, our attorneys can help you contest unfounded accusations of defects on a property. As skilled negotiators, we can explore all possibilities to resolve the issue outside of court. Moreover, if the client takes you to court for an alleged defect on a property, we are prepared to defend you against aggressive litigation. We have decades of experience handling cases in civil court and we will pursue a favorable result in order to minimize your losses.

Nonpayment of Work

When a client refuses to pay for your work on a construction project, you could experience serious financial strain. At Salvado Law Offices, we recognize just how urgent your need for compensation may be. Our lawyers can help you pursue full payment for your work through different avenues.

As a first measure, our lawyers could attempt to solve the issue through negotiation. A client faced with the possibility of legal action may agree to a settlement just to avoid the costs of going to court. At Salvado Law Offices, our attorneys can advocate for a settlement that fully compensates you for your losses. Negotiating for a settlement can also help you maintain a good working relationship with a client, keeping tensions low.

If the client will not agree to a settlement, our attorneys can file a lawsuit on your behalf. We might also petition for a mechanic's lien on your behalf, which can encumber the client's property until you are paid for your damages. At Salvado Law Offices, we will adapt our approach to suit your needs, putting your needs first.

Risk Management

It takes ambition to do business in construction work. Of course, this also involves risks. You may have to navigate around local regulations and state laws. You will also have to review your business contracts carefully to make sure that the terms are reasonable. A knowledgeable attorney can account for these risks and take proactive steps to protect you from liability.

At Salvado Law Offices, you can rely on us to look out for your best interests. We can draft and view your construction contracts, assist in smoothing over disputes, and help you ensure regulatory compliance. No matter the scope of your project or the size of your business, we are here to mitigate and avoid risks.
