Construction

Mechanic’s Liens, Breach of Contract & Fraud.

Construction projects involve significant financial investment, strict timelines, and multiple parties—from contractors and subcontractors to property owners and suppliers. When problems arise, they can quickly threaten budgets, schedules, and legal rights. At Ace Law, attorney Kevin Acevedo provides experienced legal support for clients involved in construction-related disputes, including mechanic’s liens, breach of contract claims, and cases involving fraud or misrepresentation.

Whether you are a contractor seeking unpaid compensation or a property owner dealing with defective work, our firm is committed to helping you resolve construction conflicts efficiently and protect your financial interests.

Derechos de retención

A mechanic’s lien is a powerful tool that allows contractors, subcontractors, and material suppliers to secure payment for labor or materials provided to a construction project. However, the rules for filing, enforcing, or contesting mechanic’s liens are strict and time-sensitive.

We assist clients with:

• Filing valid mechanic’s liens
• Enforcing unpaid or disputed liens
• Removing or challenging invalid liens
• Negotiating settlements and payment resolutions

We ensure that your rights are protected throughout the lien process, whether you are pursuing payment or defending against an improper claim.

Incumplimiento de contrato

Construction contracts establish expectations for performance, materials, timelines, and payment. When one party fails to meet their obligations, a breach of contract claim may arise. These disputes are common in both residential and commercial construction.

Our firm handles cases involving:

• Failure to complete work
• Delays or missed deadlines
• Substandard workmanship
• Failure to pay for labor or materials
• Violations of warranties or specifications

We work to resolve disputes through negotiation, mediation, or litigation—whichever approach best protects your interests and minimizes disruption.

Fraud and Misrepresentation

Fraud in construction projects can lead to costly damage, unsafe conditions, and significant financial loss. Our firm represents clients on both sides of fraud-related issues, including:

• False billing or inflated invoices
• Misrepresentation of qualifications or licensing
• Concealment of defects
• Fraudulent change orders
• Deceptive business practices

We conduct a thorough investigation, gather evidence, and pursue legal remedies to hold responsible parties accountable.
