Construction Law

We regularly review, prepare, and negotiate owner, contractor, and subcontractor contracts. We provide representation for contract disputes, collection of amounts due, and litigate other issues in state and federal court in New Jersey and New York. We represent builders, developers, subcontractors, contractors, and owners.

Our attorneys understand the complexities of the construction process and have handled cases involving:

  • Bond claims
  • Breach of warranty
  • Construction liens
  • Contract performance
  • Delay damages
  • Residential home improvement contracts
  • Insurance disputes
  • Property damage, including damage during construction

We can help you with the complexities of the Construction and Mechanic's Lien Laws in the states of New Jersey and New York. Speak to us about the need to file and serve Preliminary Notices on private and public projects to protect your lien rights and your rights against sureties and other providers of payment and performance bonds. The procedures for filing liens and other notices may vary for each project. Privately owned projects may have different requirements depending on whether the project has a commercial or residential use. Publicly owned projects may have different requirements depending on whether they are owned by local, state, or federal entities. Federal projects in particular require strict application of the Miller Act procedures. Failure to follow these procedures may prejudice your claim.

Resolution of claims through negotiations, mediation, arbitration or litigation may be complex, and requires careful and diligent representation. We have represented many clients through these proceedings, and can help you protect your rights.

If you are looking for construction law attorneys with the knowledge and experience to effectively represent you, please contact  John Petriello.

Competent, capable, experienced, we've been serving the community for over 50 years.
