Connecticut Litigators Addressing Construction Disputes

With any construction project, from a small home improvement to a new federal office building, there are ample opportunities for legal disputes to arise. When these disputes do arise, the attorneys of Ciulla & Donofrio provide skilled representation designed to resolve them efficiently and effectively.

Ciulla & Donofrio LLP: The Construction Litigation Authority
Sophisticated Solutions to Complex Legal Problems

We understand business and we understand construction. Our clients come to us for practical legal solutions to their complex construction litigation problems — and we deliver — consistently and efficiently.

We are an AV® Peer Review Rated firm under Martindale-Hubbell's peer review rating system* and are listed in the Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers in the categories of Commercial Litigation and Construction Law.

We have the knowledge and experience needed to skillfully resolve all types of construction litigation matters, including:

  • Proving and defending quality of work and defective work claims
  • Prosecuting and defending time impact, lost productivity, inefficiency, delay, building defects and related contractual and extra-contractual claims
  • Handling breach of contract claims and all other contract disputes

First and foremost, we are a litigation firm. We resolve legal disputes, and are fully prepared to take these disputes to the courtroom when necessary. However, we also recognize that aggressive litigation is not always the best business decision. We have extensive experience with alternative dispute resolution proceedings, and, if the situation calls for it, can serve as strong advocates in these processes.

Attorney Jeffrey M. Donofrio has represented clients in complex construction litigation matters in state and federal courts throughout the United States. As a firm, we have developed a network of outstanding consultants who can serve as expert witnesses in a variety of construction disputes.

If you have encountered any type of litigation matter, it is imperative to retain the services of a lawyer who can secure results in a timely and cost-effective manner. Contact our offices today to discuss your concerns with an experienced attorney from Ciulla & Donofrio.
