A consummate professional who delivers results

After a complex dispute with a contractor over significant building defects, our company was facing major financial exposure. Jim Ehmann's deep, 45-year expertise in construction law was immediately evident. He guided us through the litigation process with a strategic, problem-solving approach that was both reassuring and effective. His recognition as a 'Lawyer of the Year' is well-deserved. Jim and his team at Kanuka Thuringer secured a settlement that not only covered our losses but also protected our reputation. His professionalism and command of the details in both construction and business disputes are exceptional. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
