Construction litigation, liens and defect claims

Twenty-five years of Colorado construction work, including six weeks in front of a Denver jury on a single mechanic’s lien.

Payment and lien claims

Mechanic’s liens, bond claims and prompt-payment disputes, for owners, general contractors and subcontractors alike. These are deadline cases first and merits cases second, which is why the first conversation is always about dates.

Defect and delay

Construction defect claims under the Colorado Construction Defect Action Reform Act, delay and disruption claims, and the scheduling analysis that decides them.

• Owner and contractor defect claims, and CDARA notice practice
• Delay, acceleration and inefficiency claims
• Contract administration disputes and change-order fights

The sixty-day problem

A lien statement filed a day late is worth nothing at all, and the clock does not start where most people think it does. If you are reading this because someone has stopped paying, the date to work out first is the last day labour or materials went in.
