About Michael
Biography
I provide counsel and litigation services to general contractors, engineers and other construction industry and government contract clients. I am experienced in resolving multiple different types of construction claims and disputes, including bid protests, change order and extra work disputes, and claims for delay, impact, and acceleration. In addition, I have handled numerous claims and disputes involving defective design and construction, and am experienced with insurance coverage and bond claims that arise in construction disputes. Over the years I have worked on a wide variety of public and private construction projects, including road, bridge and tunneling projects, light rail, sports stadiums, libraries, educational and civic facilities, hotels and casinos, and numerous commercial, condominium and mixed-use developments.
