Construction Disputes
Construction disputes are a common occurrence among builders, real estate developers and property owners. However, they do not have to create the type of hardships that create grounds for litigation. If and when they do, it is important to have an attorney qualified in construction disputes on your side.
The attorneys at Rupp, Johnston & Lloyd each have more than two decades of experience fighting for the rights of clients involved in the construction industry. Because the construction industry represents a narrow area of the law, few attorneys have the hybrid construction and litigation experience to handle cases both in and out of the courtroom.
While the ideal outcome of a construction dispute is to have both parties resolve their disagreement and mitigate their profit loss, this is not always possible subject to the particular circumstances involved. There may be specific terms of your contract which force you to resolve your construction disputes outside of the courtroom. However, there may also be certain situations which do not require mediation and are best handled with litigation.
While some attorneys may specialize in construction dispute resolution or mediation, Rupp, Johnston & Lloyd can handle your construction dispute at any stage including during the negotiation phase or when warranted, litigating your case before a judge and jury.
When construction disputes force business to a halt, profit loss is increased and the potential for litigation may rise on a daily basis as expenses pile up. If you are stuck in a construction dispute in Southern California or San Diego, our attorneys offer decades of legal experience which will enable you to enforce your rights and safely navigate your project away from unnecessary loss.
