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 and general contractors from paying twice (or more) on liened or bonded projects where such liens or bond claims were not properly perfected.
