Several years ago, I had a case with Alex as opposing counsel on a construction equipment debt case. He fought hard for his client, and earned my respect. I have no reservations about recommending him for construction law. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field.

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.

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.

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.
