About the Author

I am a construction and surety lawyer in Raleigh, North Carolina with fifteen year’s experience serving the needs of general contractors, construction managers, owner/developers, surety companies, specialty subcontractors, and suppliers.  I am a member in good standing with the North Carolina and Massachusetts state bar associations and am licensed to practice in all state and federal trial courts in both states.  I seek to expand my practice and to assist those confronting legal issues in their business dealings.  I am experienced in prosecuting and defending lien, bond, payment, change order, differing site conditions, delay, inefficiency, defect, and professional malpractice claims in connection with the construction industry.  I also consult with clients in drafting and negotiating construction contracts and provide counseling during projects in an effort to avoid, resolve, or mitigate claims.
