Case Highlights
Helping general contractors collect payment:
Mark helped a large general contractor preserve his ability to
collect payment on nearly all of two million dollars owed him
on a quasi-federal project where the defunct owner had to file
bankruptcy.
Getting paid after lien rights are lost: He has
assisted several material suppliers and contractors position
themselves to recover payment in situations where they had lost
lien and/or payment bond rights in addition to saving owners,
lenders and general contractors from paying twice (or more) on
liened or bonded projects where such liens or bond claims were not
properly perfected.
