• DUI/DWI
• Wrongful Death
  Construction litigation is a specific area of the law where construction disputes are resolved in the courts. The parties involved can have disputes over a range of issues relevant to construction law, including injury or wrongful death, or negligence. Specifically, construction litigation refers to civil lawsuits rather than criminal prosecution, though the latter may happen simultaneously with construction litigation depending on the case. It’s important to note that construction disputes, as civil cases, are governed by rules and the burden of proof standards that are distinct from criminal prosecution.

Business and Corporate Law

• Corporate Law
  Litigation has several subcategories dependent on the field in which the parties in a legal dispute are operating, such as construction litigation vs. corporate litigation. Each area has its own specific laws and regulations that can be violated, hence the different types of litigation. Throughout each type of litigation, you can simplify it to the process of engaging in or contesting a legal action in a court to resolve the dispute. With that in mind, what is construction litigation specifically?
• Business Formation
  Gerry and Dave specialize in estate planning, business formation and planning, farm leases, and transition planning matters.
• Business Disputes
• Construction Contracts
  Construction litigation can be costly and time-consuming for each party involved, which is why many contractors and construction contracts include clauses that allow for arbitration rather than litigation to resolve disputes. This is an informal process where each party makes their arguments to an arbitrator, who acts as a third party and makes a binding ruling on the dispute that both parties agree to prior. While this is a preferred course of action, construction litigation is sometimes inevitable, and always a recourse.
