Construction and Mechanic’s Lien
We represent and advise owners and contractors in construction matters ranging from initial contract, to disputes regarding payment or performance, to nuisance claims by adjoining owners, to mechanics lien filing and administration, to litigating disputed claims in courts of law, and more. Determining what remedies are available in a construction dispute and how damages are calculated requires careful analysis of the contract documents, applicable statutes and case law, and the unique facts of every case. Similarly, protecting your rights requires diligently asserting them at all times and in all ways, and by giving proper notice according to contract terms, statutes, local government regulation, or court deadlines. It can be enormously helpful to have an attorney to guide you in your construction process.
Charlottesville Attorney Thomas M. Hendell has been practicing construction law in Virginia courts for 15 years. Construction law disagreements are among the most consequential and difficult experiences of many clients’ lives, and we work closely with you to minimize uncertainty, enforce your rights, and present your most compelling case.
