Construction Liens & Disputes

Counsel concerning payment, performance, defective work, delay, contracts, and lien rights.

Construction claims demand attention to both the project and the deadline.

Florida’s construction lien law is governed by detailed statutory requirements. Rights may turn on the claimant’s role, the type of property, the contract, notices, service, recording, and strict time limits. An invalid lien can be lost—and in some circumstances may expose the claimant to liability.

The firm represents owners, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and other participants in construction-related matters, drawing on legal experience with plans, specifications, payment records, expert reports, insurance materials, site inspections, and technical evidence.

Matters may include

  • Claims of lien and lien foreclosure
  • Notices to owner and contractor affidavits
  • Payment disputes and nonpayment defenses
  • Defective or incomplete work
  • Delay, change-order, and scope disputes
  • Construction contract drafting and interpretation
  • Performance and payment bond claims
  • Wrongful or fraudulent lien disputes
