Most importantly, I work with and for the client to get the facts straight and complete before any substantial legal move is made.. Most clients don't really know whether they have a good case or a bad case. That's why they've gone to a lawyer. They want to know where they stand. They don't necessarily want to file a lawsuit or start some drama or trauma that's going to end up costing a lot of money. They want to know what their legal rights are, and what a lawyer can do to help them out of a problem. I work mostly on matters involving construction and real estate. I represent contractors who are having problems with payment, warranties, contracts, bond and retainage claims, construction defects, insurance claims, and government regulation and assessments.. A construction or real estate problem is usually resolved by applying a number of laws, going through a process of progressively getting more and better information from the client, working professionally with other lawyers, parties, or government officials, and developing a good assessment of the case with the client..
