Our municipality engaged Scott Holcomb at Dickinson Wright to navigate a contentious dispute with a contractor over significant delays and cost overruns on a public infrastructure project. With over four decades of experience, his deep knowledge of both construction law and the unique landscape of government contracts was immediately apparent. He provided a clear, strategic assessment of our position, and his familiarity with the Phoenix legal community was a definite asset. His recent recognition as a 'Lawyer of the Year' in construction litigation is well-deserved. While his billing rates reflect his seniority and expertise, and communication could occasionally experience brief delays during his busy court schedule, the outcome was highly favorable. We achieved a settlement that protected public funds and set a strong precedent for future projects. I would confidently recommend Scott for any public entity or business facing complex construction or commercial litigation matters.
