The Law Office of Ira James Harris can help. Attorney Ira James Harris has helped most of the nation's 100 top commercial and residential builders and many others successfully resolve construction contract disputes and defect claims for over 27 years.
Construction Defect Experience.
Residential and commercial builders commonly face accusations of building defects relating to design and construction. These disputes often involve the means and methods employed and/or the use and integration of the materials. Earth movement or water intrusion into the building cavity at windows, doors, roofs, siding and decks are often the most common problems.
We can marshal the forces necessary to investigate the alleged problem and make legal recommendations regarding its causes and the recoverability of damages from those responsible.
We can also work to identify the resources available to resolve the claim, including enforcement of your express or implied indemnity rights, as well as any and all rights to a defense or indemnification that you may possess under any primary, excess and additional insured insurance policy or endorsement. Our reputation and skill at identifying such resources and establishing liability therefore, helps to ensure a high probability that your dispute will end up in a cost-savings out-of-court settlement.
