Sean M. Howley

Expert guidance on a complex subcontractor dispute

I engaged Sean Howley at Kraftson Caudle to assist my small construction firm with a significant payment dispute involving a subcontractor who had walked off the job. From our initial consultation in his McLean office, it was clear he possessed a deep, practical understanding of Virginia construction law. His recognition in both Construction Law and Litigation - Construction by Best Lawyers wasn't just a title; he leveraged that expertise to craft a strategy that avoided immediate, costly litigation. He successfully negotiated a settlement that recovered most of our costs and allowed the project to proceed with a new crew, saving us immense time and stress. Sean is sharp, professional, and explains complex legal concepts in plain English. The only reason this isn't a 5-star review is that during particularly busy periods, response times to non-urgent emails could occasionally stretch to 48 hours. That said, when it mattered, he was always accessible. I highly recommend him for any construction-related legal matters in the Denver area.
