Aggressive Attorneys Protecting and Enforcing Contractors' Rights in Rockville

Contractors in construction work fulfill an important role in society, literally laying the foundations for homes, businesses, and more. However, the laws surrounding construction projects and contracted work can be quite complex, and when disputes or complications arise, it helps to have legal representation. A Rockville, MD contractor attorney can help to protect your best interests and navigate legal challenges.

At Salvado Law Offices, we stand as proud advocates for the rights of contractors. When you work with our firm, we will provide you with comprehensive legal services to help you address your issue, including counsel and representation. With decades of legal experience, our attorneys have the skills and knowledge to help you through your case.

Breach of Contract Claims

A well-written contract can help keep a construction project moving along smoothly. A full contract may detail the responsibilities of every party involved in the project, a timeline for completion of the project, and how payment will be handled. However, if somebody is accused of breaching the terms of the contract, the project could grind to a halt.

At Salvado Law Offices, we represent contractors in breach of contract claims. We can advocate for you whether you want to enforce the terms of a signed agreement, or if you have been accused of breaching the contract yourself. We can review the terms of the contract carefully to understand the cause of the dispute, before taking effective legal action on your behalf. Our lawyers can take steps to resolve the dispute through informal negotiation, but if needed, we are more than prepared to represent you in court.

Nonpayment for Work

You have a right to be paid for your labor, full stop. If a client refuses to pay you for your work on a project, you should seek out legal representation immediately.

At Salvado Law Offices, we are ready to fight for the payment that you deserve. Our attorneys can help you pursue a remedy for your losses, whether it involves negotiations for a settlement or civil litigation.

Alternatively, we can assist you in obtaining a mechanic's lien to enforce your right to fair payment. This allows you to make a claim on a property until you are compensated for your work. With a mechanic's lien in place, the property will become encumbered and therefore more difficult to sell, putting pressure on the owner to compensate you for your work. Our firm can help you file a complaint with the court and represent you in a hearing in circuit court.

Regulatory Compliance

Any given construction project may involve a tangle of state and local laws that affect what you can and cannot build. Trying to resolve these issues on your own can be time-consuming, and if you are accused of not adhering to legal requirements, the project could experience an unexpected delay. When you work with our firm, we can help you ensure regulatory compliance with all relevant state, local, and federal laws.

Our attorneys can advise you of any possible liabilities or risks associated with a project, including:

• Zoning laws
• Building codes
• Eco-friendly regulations

Having a lawyer on your side can streamline your construction project, allowing you to avoid potential pitfalls in the pre-planning stage.
