Seeking Justice and Positive Outcomes in Construction Disputes

As a homeowner or investor who places trust in a contractor — whether to construct an entire dwelling, build a swimming pool, or perform renovations — you have rights. In some cases, the work is simply never completed or is clearly not up to industry standards, and yet when you refuse to pay, you are hit with a mechanic's lien. Depending on exact circumstances, our next steps may include:

• Determining whether the mechanic's lien was filed properly under the law by a person or entity who has the right to file such a claim

• Fully investigating any work performed and examining all contracts and warranties that may be useful in your defense

• Looking into other relevant legal factors such as licensing, work delays, and pricing information

With all you may have at stake in your Central Florida house, condominium, or a commercial property, it can be essential to take aggressive action after any failure of a contractor or subcontractor to perform quality work as promised. If you are a property owner or investor who believes a contractor has deviated from plans or specifications, failed to perform quality work, or is otherwise responsible for construction defects, please contact us today.

Successful Appeals of Property Taxes May Require an Experienced Lawyer

The Florida Department of Revenue provides a statewide Property Taxpayer's Bill of Rights, but local governments, property appraisers and assessors, and others involved in your tax bill all apply their own standards. If you have recently received an assessment or tax bill you believe is unfair, the most direct, effective way to fight for your rights may be to bring your property tax dispute to our attorneys.

Our lawyers have experience appealing tax assessments at the local and state government levels, and we can also bring the benefit of a network of independent property appraisers, construction experts, and market authorities into your case if necessary. We will provide personal, dedicated attention to your property tax dispute, including:

• Diligent preparation of the strongest possible appeal, including use of comparable property values and assessments

• Accompanying you to hearings before the appeals board or other tax authority in your jurisdiction

An unfortunately common situation throughout the greater Orlando area and across Florida is turning dreams into financial nightmares. If you have made a pre-construction deposit on a condominium or home — only to find that its value when completed will not justify your investment — our attorneys are here to help, beginning with a free initial consultation.
