We have consulted Alex at different points of our business journey. He has always been responsive, highly professional and precise on his advise. We have known Alex for more than 5 years and we continue to stay in touch with him and his company to help us grow in our knowledge in the construction field. We have not found this kind of service anywhere else. Highly recommended.

This is the Construction Lawyer You Have Been Looking for

Posted by

Simply put, Alex treats you like family. Our company relies on him and his team for all of legal needs including contract review, the interpretation of contract documents, human resource issues, mitigating liability, construction liens, and all things construction related. He is always available and accessible, even on weekends, and his turn around time is excellent. Alex is truly a wealth of information. We can always count on him for advice that is on point, and unlike many other attorneys, Alex has the confidence to make a call. He is also extremely generous, gracious, and conscientious with his time. We are extremely grateful that he is part of our team and would highly recommend his services.

Great Construction Attorney

Posted by

Our company has used Alex for construction litigation since I started with them over 9 years ago. Alex has worked multiple cases for us and has always handled our file as if it is the only one he has. He does a great job of directing resources and effort to get the maximum return, but also takes into consideration the clients thoughts and ideas regarding a case. I have always appreciated his advice and counsel even if we decide a suit may not be the best way to go. I don't think you will find a better construction attorney in the state of Florida.

Miami Construction Lawyer

Mr Barthet was always available to review and assist us with any questions. His knowledge and explanation of the law regarding our issues was extensive . Our case involved liens and AIA contracts. He was very conscious of the time he spent and made it as cost effective as possible for us. He would review our information and offer us different solutions in solving matters always pointing out the best and worst case senarios which was extremely helpful in making a decision for our strategy. When we finally came to the end of our case he was very quick to resolve all pending issues with the opposing counsel and finalize our settlement. I find Mr Alex Barthet to be a rare breed for his profession. I have nothing but the highest regard for him and his level of ethics.
Alexander Barthet's response: Thank you Katherine for the very kind words.

Issues involving construction and liens can be very tricky and subject to strict deadlines and restrictions. No one is better qualified to help you work through these issues than Alex Barthet and the members of his firm. They are specialists in this area, and their professionalism and dedication to their clients are without equal.

Spencer Aronfeld, Construction and development Attorney on Jul 9, 2014
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

I first met Mr. Barthet in a hotly contested slip and fall case where he was defending the architect who had designed the parking lot where my client had been injured. Throughout the lititgation Mr. Barthet was the consumate professional. He is ethical and hard working and provided an excellent defense for his client. Rarely have I litigated against a lawyer more competent in their knowledge of contruction law.

Manuel Segarra, Construction and development Attorney on Apr 12, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer. Alext Barthet is an exceptional construction law attorney whose law firm is based in downtown Miami. He is well respected by clients, colleagues, and opposing counsel because of his extensive knowledge in the area of construction law as well as his hard work and perseverance. It benefits my practice immensely to have Alex Barthet a phone call away whenever an equitable distribution issue relating to a contract, lien and / or bond claim arises in one of my cases.
