Chris Hill's Construction Law Musing blog served as an inspiration for my blog. He continues to impress me with the depth of his knowledge of the construction law community.
Scott Wolfe, Construction and development Attorney
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I highly recommend Chris as a construction attorney. I've worked with him in the past, and know that he's incredibly knowledgeable about the legal issues facing those in the construction industry. Not only does Chris have a great grasp of these issues, but he can break them down and get clients through the legal jargon. For an example of that, just take a look at his Musings blog.
