At the Law Offices of David G. Finkelstein we make two quick impressions on our new construction litigation clients.

Next, and perhaps more importantly, our clients appreciate the creativity and simplicity of our approach to dispute resolution.

Our goal in any construction dispute is to find the most reliable and cost-effective way of resolving your problem. That means working closely with you to identify your litigation objectives, your broader business goals and the negotiating points that can lead to early settlement.

While we are always prepared to take your claim or defense to court when necessary, we find that many of our construction clients can afford neither the risk nor the expense of prolonged litigation. As a result, we do everything we can to expand your options toward a favorable resolution that will not involve a high-stakes trial.

Arbitration clauses have become standard in California construction contracts and our ability to help you get the most out of streamlined adversary proceedings can represent a major advantage. We also can help you in mediation sessions when the views of a neutral settlement facilitator can promote a good result.

We advise and represent clients on claims, defenses and counterclaims related to any of the following:

• Contract matters — breach, termination, misrepresentation or material nondisclosure
• Financing issues — termination of credit facilities, loan workouts, mortgage foreclosure or project suspension
• Enforcement of mechanics' liens or material liens
• Construction defects and warranty claims involving roofs, windows, doors, facades, paving or HVAC systems
• Construction defects and warranty claims in multiunit developments such as apartment complexes or condo projects
• Subcontractor performance and payment problems
• Regulatory enforcement actions
• Insurance claims

Our clients depend on us to resolve contractor disputes, warranty claims and zoning violations. To learn how you can benefit from our attorneys' experience with construction litigation, contact the Law Offices of David G. Finkelstein in San Mateo.
