If litigation becomes necessary, that same preparation provides the framework for moving the case forward efficiently.
Every construction dispute is different. The first step is determining the available leverage and the most effective path toward getting paid.

Not Getting Paid for Construction Work?
Construction payment disputes come in many forms. Sometimes the owner refuses to pay. Sometimes the general contractor withholds payment from a subcontractor. Sometimes a supplier or laborer performs exactly as promised but still goes unpaid.
Many disputes involve questions such as:
-
Unpaid progress payments
-
Retainage disputes
-
Change orders and extra work
-
Delay claims
-
Backcharges
-
Allegations of defective or incomplete work
-
Claims of lien and lien enforcement
-
Breach of contract
-
Payment bond claims
-
Attorney's fees
-
Settlement negotiations
-
Litigation
If you did the work and haven’t been paid, you may have more leverage than you think.
The key is acting in time and doing it correctly.
Strong Preparation. Strong Leverage.
Every construction dispute has its own facts, contracts, and procedural requirements. The right strategy depends on understanding not only what happened, but also what can be proven.
Where appropriate, we prepare comprehensive demand packages designed to show the other side that we understand the facts, the contract, the project timeline, the payment history, the available documentation, the lien issues, the causation questions, and the litigation path. A well-supported demand often makes settlement discussions more productive and can sometimes resolve the dispute without litigation.
