We provide legal support across a wide range of construction law matters, including:

 
 
  • Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating construction contracts, subcontracts, and service agreements that clearly define expectations and reduce the risk of conflict.

  • Advising on land use regulations, zoning compliance, and development approvals for residential, commercial, and mixed-use construction projects.

  • Helping property owners, developers, and contractors comply with state and local disclosure laws—avoiding costly oversights before, during, and after construction.

  • Filing and defending against mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens to protect payment rights or challenge improper filings under Oklahoma law.


  • Pursuing or defending claims related to negligent construction practices, code violations, and unsafe workmanship that cause damage or injury.

  • Representing clients in disputes involving poor construction quality, structural issues, design errors, and material failures—on both the owner and contractor sides.

  • Assisting with local permitting requirements, inspections, code compliance, and navigating municipal review processes to avoid costly project delays.

  • Interpreting and enforcing express and implied warranties in construction contracts—whether related to workmanship, materials, or long-term performance.

  • Handling disputes in and out of court, including breach of contract, unpaid work claims, defect lawsuits, and more, with a focus on efficient, goal-oriented resolution.
