My Sherman Oaks construction law office will represent contractors, subcontractors, property owners, and material suppliers in resolving a full range of disputes through arbitration, mediation, or trial in California Superior Courts. I assist clients with the following:

• Construction Contracts: Whether preparing or reviewing a construction contract, or litigating a breach of a construction contract, I can help you. I have experience handling many kinds of contract disputes, including disputes relating to payment, claims of delay, claims of poor workmanship, change orders, and other matters. I can assist you with all of these issues.
  
  
• Surety Bonds: A surety bond can offer protection to owners, general contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers, or laborers in connection with payment and performance by the bonded contractor, also known as the bond principal, or the primary obligor. The beneficiaries of the surety bond can be an owner, contractor, subcontractor, supplier or laborer, depending on the situation. The beneficiary of a surety bond is typically known as the obligee. A surety, also known as the secondary obligor, is liable to an obligee under a bond if the bond principal or primary obligor defaults in his construction or payment obligations. With extensive knowledge in surety bond law, I can assist owners, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers or sureties, in all manner of surety bond issues-including issues relating to performance bonds, payment bonds, license bonds, lien or stop-notice release bond, and bid bonds.
  
  
• Liens and Stop Notices: Under California law, a contractor, subcontractor, supplier or laborer has a right to ensure they will be compensated for the work they completed by filing a stop notice or mechanics' lien, in addition to surety bond claims. I am knowledgeable about the California mechanics' lien statutes and can assist clients that need help with mechanics' lien issues. There are many time-sensitive requirements and deadlines in this area of law. I can help protect your rights.
  
  
• Administrative law: I assist contractors and subcontractors facing administrative issues involving citations or the suspension or revocation of their contractor licenses. I offer guidance and assistance with filing a Notice of Defense, Request for Discovery, and other important measures to protect the individual, partnership, or corporate contractor license after the licensee has been notified it is facing administrative sanctions by the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB).
  
  
• Other construction law issues: In addition, I can assist clients with the following:
