Expert guidance through a complex construction dispute

David Garner provided exceptional counsel during a contentious construction contract dispute. His deep knowledge, honed over nearly four decades in areas like construction and commercial litigation, was immediately evident. He navigated the complexities with a steady hand, and his Martindale-Hubbell recognition is well-deserved. While communication response times could occasionally be quicker given his caseload, his strategic advice was always worth the wait. We achieved a favorable settlement, and I would confidently recommend him for complex business disputes.
