Experienced Representation for Tough Construction Issues in Lebanon, TN

Construction projects, whether a new home or a major commercial build, are high-stakes endeavors that often lead to complex legal disagreements. When a dispute threatens your investment or your livelihood, you need more than just a lawyer—you need advocates who understand the blueprints.

Because our attorneys bring combined decades of experience, including backgrounds both in the legal field and as tradesmen, we don't just know the law; we know the boots-on-the-ground reality of the Tennessee construction industry. This insight allows us to anticipate the other side's moves and fight to secure the best possible outcome for you.

​

Protecting Your Project and Your Bottom Line

​

We provide dedicated counsel and strong representation across the full spectrum of construction law challenges:

• Navigating Contract Battles: We handle the entire lifecycle of construction agreements, from drafting bulletproof contracts that protect your interests to aggressively litigating breach of contract claims related to delays, payment issues, and project scope changes.

• Mechanic’s Liens and Payment: If you are a contractor or supplier fighting to get paid, our attorneys help you enforce your rights through Tennessee's mechanic's and materialmen's lien laws. If you are an owner facing an unfair lien on your property, we work quickly to clear the title.

• Construction Defects and Workmanship Disputes: When the quality of the work is questioned, we step in. We represent owners who have discovered faulty workmanship and contractors who must defend their professional reputation against unwarranted defect allegations.

• Collection and Retainage Issues: We pursue payment aggressively, dealing with non-payment, retainage disputes, and ensuring compliance with the state’s prompt payment statutes to keep your cash flow moving.

• Dispute Resolution: While we prepare every case for trial, we understand litigation is costly. We utilize arbitration and mediation to find efficient, cost-effective resolutions, but our attorneys are always prepared to fight fiercely for you in a Lebanon courtroom.
