Lisa Morris
Our company, a mid-sized subcontractor, found itself in a protracted and financially threatening dispute with a general contractor over payment delays and alleged performance issues on a commercial development project. The situation was becoming untenable, threatening our cash flow and reputation. Engaging Grant Ford at Bernadt, Vukic, Potash & Getz was the decisive factor that turned the situation around. His decade of specialized experience in construction law was immediately evident. He didn't just see the surface-level contract breach; he understood the intricate dynamics between employers, contractors, and subcontractors from the ground up. Grant meticulously dissected our original contract, the project correspondence, and the change orders, building a compelling case that went beyond mere collection. He demonstrated a strategic mastery of dispute resolution, guiding us through a mediation process with a clear-eyed assessment of both our leverage and our risks. His communication was consistently direct, timely, and free of unnecessary legal jargon, which kept our management team informed and empowered at every stage. Thanks to Grant's expertise and steady hand, we achieved a highly favorable settlement that not only secured the owed funds but also preserved a critical business relationship. He is more than an attorney; he is a strategic partner for any entity navigating the complexities of the construction industry.
