Skilled and diligent representation in a complex construction dispute

I engaged Peter Wells at Cokinos Young to represent my small commercial contracting firm in a significant payment dispute with a general contractor on a Dallas-area project. The case involved complex contract interpretation and threatened to escalate into full litigation. Peter's recognized expertise in Construction Law was immediately apparent. He demonstrated a firm grasp of the technical details and the relevant Texas statutes. His strategy was pragmatic; he prepared diligently for litigation but first pursued a negotiated settlement, which he successfully achieved, saving us considerable time and expense. His background in both construction and personal injury litigation from the defense side gave him a unique perspective on risk and liability that was invaluable. While I was thoroughly impressed with his legal acumen and the positive outcome, there were a few instances where response times to non-urgent emails could have been slightly quicker, though he was always immediately accessible by phone for pressing matters. Peter is a sharp, dedicated attorney who clearly deserves the recognition he's received. I would confidently recommend him to any business facing a construction or commercial legal challenge.
