North Haven Construction Lien Attorneys

Lawyers Experienced in Handling Construction Liens

The economic downturn has had a dramatically adverse impact on the construction industry in Connecticut. A lack of financial resources has caused a spike in cancelled projects and unpaid work.

Advocating for Contractors and Subcontractors

Property owners and funding authorities are also experiencing fiscal stress in Connecticut. As a result, sometimes an owner will improperly withhold progress payments or final payment without a valid basis. Also, owners may sometimes attempt to claim that work was substandard or even defective. The construction lawyers at our firm respond aggressively to allegations of faulty or imperfect work.

Owners should pay for work that was properly and timely performed, and we are committed to devising creative approaches that result in a "win-win" outcome for both parties. However, make no mistake, if our client requires aggressive litigation of a dispute, we are fully committed to deploying all necessary resources to the endeavor.

Our law firm strikes fast, often prompting quick resolution of the payment dispute without the expenditure of significant legal fees. In Connecticut, mechanics' liens provide a safeguard for parties providing labor or materials in connection with a construction project. However, the mechanics' lien statute is somewhat technical and complete compliance is necessary in order to properly perfect a contractor's lien rights.

At Ciulla & Donofrio, LLP, we understand and have taught seminars about the mechanics' lien laws in Connecticut, and we regularly prepare and file mechanics' liens for our contractor clients. Our experience and technical skills help us protect our clients from any potential obstacles during the construction lien process.
