How Skilled Colorado Business Litigators Can Help Your Enterprise

We represent contractors in matters concerning construction disputes, mechanic’s liens, and other protections, including helping our clients claim protections extended by Colorado’s Construction Trust Fund Statute. This law permits creditors, such as property owners, developers, and construction company owners, to place a lien on equipment owned by a party that owes them money. The lien prevents the owner from selling the equipment until the debt is repaid.

Many contractors may hesitate to take legal action in this vein, especially if the debtor is a longtime colleague or professional acquaintance. We understand and typically take this action as a last resort. Our attorneys act as a shield to help you preserve those important relationships.

If you’re a developer, contractor, or other construction investor or professional, our attorneys can assist you with matters regarding:

• Foreclosure
• Negligent or defective construction
• The mechanics’ lien statute
• Collections

Not every non-payment of claims has to go to civil court, but we prepare each case anticipating it may be necessary. When facing a non-payment dispute, we always weigh the value of the money you’re owed against the possibility of fully recouping it, plus any indirect effect each action could have on your company and business reputation. Our sound legal advice can help you make the best moves to further your business goals.

Practical Approaches To Non-Payment Disputes

In our decades of experience providing professional legal representation, we’ve seen some incredible tactics subcontractors and vendors deploy to avoid paying what they owe. Many surprises come out in construction litigation, but as experienced litigators, we can typically spot the reasons for deception and promptly address it.

We also explore your options under state and federal laws, including:

• Verified claims and bond claims
• Mechanic’s liens
• Miller Act claims
• Disburser’s notices

Mechanics’ liens are typically the most effective method of resolving non-payment issues. However, there are specific guidelines that must be followed and deadlines to meet for your claim to succeed. The Volpe Law LLC team has filed hundreds of successful mechanic’s liens, so you’re in good hands. However, you have to act fast. Call our Colorado mechanic lien lawyer today for a consultation.
