Common types of cases we handle include (but are not limited to):

CONSTRUCTION DISPUTES

Construction is a very litigious area of law in Colorado. However, many times simple disputes between a homeowner and contractor can be resolved in pre-suit negotiations if both sides have reasonable counsel. We are experienced in helping property owners and contractors alike work through construction disputes to achieve a reasonable settlement, which can result in savings of thousands of dollars in attorney’s fees. However, when pre-suit negotiation and mediation fails, we are prepared to bring a lawsuit on your behalf and seek compensation for damages.

Some of the most common lawsuits between contractors and property owners involve, at their most basic level, contract and warranty breaches; negligent construction, design flaws, and defects; mechanics’ liens; fraud and bad faith; unjust enrichment or quantum meruit; and/or consumer protection issues. Other disputes often involve payment disputes between contractors and their subcontractors. And, contractors have several defenses available to them when under attack from the owner, which will likely surface in a dispute. If you have a construction dispute, Contact us to see how we can help.

REAL ESTATE DISPUTES

Real estate law, in one form or another, is one of those areas of law most people cannot avoid. At some point in everybody’s life, they will sign some form of real estate contract, whether it be for ownership or lease. These contracts will also often signify one of the biggest financial investments or risks you will ever make.

Unfortunately, it is very common for real estate disputes to develop. We handle a variety of real estate disputes, including non-disclosure/concealment, boundary disputes, easement disputes, adverse possession, Homeowner’s Association (HOA) disputes, and landlord-tenant disputes. No matter the issue, fill out a consultation request form or give us a call at 303-268-2867 to discuss your options.

COMMERCIAL & Civil DISPUTES

Business litigation and commercial litigation are characterized by legal proceedings arising from disputes within businesses and between organizations or other parties over commercial transactions. These types of disputes often involve negotiation and dispute resolution processes before a matter goes to court.

Disputes at the center of business litigation can be both internal to the organization (e.g., a dispute with an employee or between partners) or with external parties (e.g., a dispute with a vendor or client), and often involve some version of a contract breach, breach of duties, theft, fraud, or any other tortious action that harms a business. Business and commercial litigation often involves complex issues and can be time-consuming and expensive to handle. If you have a dispute with someone you hired, with a business, a subcontractor, or with a customer, Contact us immediately to gain legal advice before proceeding or responding to the other side.
