Representative Cases/Matters
- Trial counsel representing a General Contractor in a claim brought by a Homeowner in connection with a construction dispute over a $300,000 residential home renovation and construction project. The Homeowner brought claims alleging deficient work and breach of contract. The General Contractor brought a counter claim based on the Homeowner's failure to pay outstanding fees that were due and owing pursuant to an oral contract. The five day jury trial with seven witnesses and two experts in Massachusetts Superior Court resulted in an award of the unpaid fees to the General Contractor and a finding that the General Contractor did not breach its contract.
