Valuable, experienced, knowledgeable

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 fie...ld. We have not found this kind of service anywhere else. Highly recommended.

This is the Construction Lawyer You Have Been Looking for

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

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.
