Construction law is a specialized area of contract law and litigation involving building, renovating and repairing residential and commercial properties. Our attorneys have the necessary understanding of the construction processes being used and statutes such as the Maine Home Construction Contract Law, Mechanics Lien Law and Construction Contract Payment Law to be able to negotiate, draft and interpret construction contracts for our clients.
Construction Litigation is complex and requires specialized expertise because of mechanic's liens, contractual and statutory warranties, building codes and the involvement of experts on construction standards and practices.
Smith Elliott Smith & Garmey has that expertise from years of experience representing contractors, subcontractors and property owners. From working on a wide variety of cases ranging from construction site accidents to problems with mold development and remediation, the firm has developed a network of experts who have excellent credentials and are respected statewide.
