Our Attorneys

Our construction practice attorneys represent owners, general contractors and subcontractors in the following areas:

• contract document drafting;
• contract negotiation;
• assistance during project with contract compliance and scope of work issues;
• assistance in determining construction claims and disputes;
• litigation of construction disputes in court;
• arbitration of construction disputes;
• assistance with competitive bidding disputes;
• prevailing wage issues; and
• mechanics liens.

We have successfully represented clients in both public and private disputes involving every facet of construction law. We have a keen awareness of construction issues and have achieved real results for our clients. We have kept projects moving; we have insured that disputes are contested in favorable forums, and we have consistently obtained exceptional monetary relief while keeping fees at a realistic level.

We offer a number of ADR services, including:

• drafting ADR procedures for arbitration of employment, labor, commercial and construction disputes;
• representing clients in mediation, a non-binding process designed to resolve disputes short of litigation or arbitration;
• arbitration representation in employment, labor, commercial and construction disputes;
• service as a neutral to resolve disputes.

As advocates, we have represented clients in ADR proceedings, both by court order and by agreement.

As a neutral, Mike Fortney is a member of the ADR Federal Court Panel for the Northern District of Ohio and is a member of the panel of arbitrators for the American Arbitration Association. Mike has served as an arbitrator on several cases.
