Concerns
Construction and renovation disputes are often complex because construction law addresses a broad spectrum of legal issues. Common queries might relate to the amount and quality of evidence required, such as whether an unbiased witness is required to review and report on work that was done correctly and incorrectly and, in turn, whether the required standards for workmanship were met. Conflicts involving construction and renovation are especially troublesome because it is common for both contractors and property owners to file lawsuits without first consulting competent legal counsel.
Furthermore, cases involving construction or remodeling projects often involve legal concerns other than those related to subpar craftsmanship, such as unjust enrichment,
