Construction Litigation Defense Attorneys In California
When a construction claim threatens your project, your license or your livelihood, the anxiety hits fast. Hunt Hunt & Winterbottom LLP defends contractors, subcontractors, developers and design professionals against construction-related claims across California. Founding attorney Tyler Hunt is relentlessly competitive, and that drive defines how our entire team approaches every case.
Construction Cases We Defend Across California
Construction litigation is a legal process that happens when an issue tied to a construction project cannot be settled between the parties. These issues can involve contracts, workmanship, payments or project schedules.
When negotiation fails, one side takes legal action through court. However, many construction contracts include required arbitration clauses where you would have to resolve disputes through binding arbitration rather than in court. That difference can affect your procedural rights and your options to appeal.
We represent clients facing a wide range of construction-related disputes. The types of claims we defend include:
- Mechanics lien defense: These claims happen when contractors, subcontractors or material suppliers record liens against the property, claiming you owe them payment for labor or materials they provided to your project
- Defective construction claim defense: These claims allege that you delivered work that did not meet contractual or industry standards
- Payment dispute resolution: These disputes involve disagreements over unpaid or contested invoices between parties to a construction project
- Contractor license defense: These proceedings happen when the Contractors State License Board investigates complaints against you or initiates disciplinary proceedings that could suspend or revoke your license
- Delay claim defense: These claims allege that you caused schedule overruns on a project, resulting in financial losses for the owner or another party
We focus exclusively on defense litigation. That focus gives us a unique edge in construction cases. We know how opposing counsel builds these claims, and we develop targeted defenses to meet them at every stage. Our defense-only practice means we bring deep, competent experience to your case without distraction.
