About Peter
Biography
My legal practice is concentrated on business and construction matters, including litigation, arbitration, and mediation of contract and property disputes, construction lien and surety bond claims, and disputes involving owners, general contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers.
I also represent clients who perform engineering and construction work for the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA), Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD), and who otherwise specialize in water and wastewater construction.
