Measure twice, cut once. Whether it’s a mistake cutting a piece of wood or a mistake of another sort, not taking the time to make sure of what you’re doing will cost you time or money, and most likely both.

Too frequently members of the construction industry contact me AFTER signing a one-sided contract, missing mechanic’s lien and payment bond claim deadlines, waiving claims or defenses, or making other costly mistakes.

With over twenty year’s experience practicing construction law, I can help you save time and money, and avoid costly mistakes. Before signing a contract, review it. If you have questions or concerns, contact me. File the notices necessary to preserve your contract, mechanic’s lien, payment bond, and other claims. What notices? Ask me. I can walk you through the process.

Sometimes despite your best efforts, disputes will arise. I have successfully represented owners, design professionals, contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers in negotiations, mediations, arbitrations, hearings, trials, and appeals.

While I am licensed to practice in the state and federal courts of Utah and Wyoming, I have helped clients to resolve matters in many others states, and even internationally. You may contact me at Babcock Scott & Babcock, P.C., a ten-attorney construction law firm, where I am a senior shareholder.
