An In Depth Understanding of Complex Construction Law Issues

Our knowledgeable construction law representation is designed to assist contractors in addressing several key issues, including:

  • Effective daily problem solving: Clients need answers today, not next week. We give clients clear answers to their questions as fast as possible. Our clients can avoid serious problems by knowing early on what steps are needed to avoid them.  We believe in clever problem solving.
  • Contract drafting: Florida furnishes few model contracts for construction contractors. We fill that need, especially for residential contractors, with good contracts that accommodate both parties' critical interests. We look in the law for the right words to resolve issues. As a consequence, our contracts have never been challenged in court in all our years of practice.
  • Regulatory compliance: Knowledgeable in all regulations relating to the construction field, our staff is able to assist clients in avoiding fines and other punishment stemming from non-compliance issues. Our attorney works closely with every client to provide them with the necessary means of maintaining comprehensive records of compliance while educating them on the numerous concerns at each job site. We also assist clients in defending against non-compliance punishments through negotiation and assertive court room representation.
  • Disputes: We have the knowledge to offer comprehensive representation to home owners or contractors involved in a dispute over services or quality issues. We work diligently to present a complaint that is very thorough in an effort to provide the state and local agencies with everything they need to move forward against the person who has wronged our client.
  • Collections
  • Lien foreclosures
  • Lawsuits for breach of contract, or fraud

Our staff has the knowledge and experience needed to provide advanced assistance with government projects including issues relating to bonds, government contracts and government contract administration.

 Attorney Bruce G. Kaleita writes the following types of construction contracts:

  • Standard Construction Contract
  •  Standard Subcontracts
  •  Remodeling Contracts
  •  Cost Plus Contracts
  •  Specialty Trade Contracts
  •  Contract Administration Documents
  •  Government Contracts
 

Cost Effective Representation

Lawsuits are not always the best way to solve problems. They are expensive, and they give our power away to judges and juries. Our contracts often solve problems without lawsuits. When we must file a lawsuit, we use our own special techniques in the complaint and elsewhere to try to accelerate resolution of the case. We have had great success with this. We believe the client is entitled to a resolution of the problem at a reasonable cost. Therefore, we do what is necessary, but we avoid work that we feel will not advance the client's interests.
