Suffolk County Construction Litigation Lawyer

Long Island Construction Contract Dispute Attorney

Construction projects are high-stakes investments for everyone involved. If you or your business is involved in any type of construction dispute, it is in your interests to get legal representation from an experienced trial lawyer who understands the construction industry.

I am Harold A. Steuerwald, a Suffolk County construction litigation attorney serving clients throughout Long Island. I have more than 20 years of experience practicing law in New York, including extensive experience litigating and otherwise resolving construction disputes.

Litigating All Types of Construction Claims

A substantial part of my commercial litigation practice involves the representation of contractors, suppliers, property owners and other parties in construction claims. I represent both plaintiffs and defendants in lawsuits over matters such as the following:

• Payment disputes: I frequently help contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and other parties obtain payment for the work they have performed or goods they have supplied. Where authorized by statute, this may involve the placement and enforcement of mechanic's liens on property.
• Breach of contract claims: I am experienced at interpreting and enforcing complex construction contracts. I help property owners, contractors, developers and other parties pursue appropriate compensation from parties that have breached contracts with them.
• Construction defect claims: If you had a home built or had work done on your property and the work was done in a negligent manner, resulting in soil subsidence, water intrusion or other defects, I can help you pursue compensation for the harm done.

I provide personal attention to every case, carefully evaluating the facts and my client's goals in order to identify and pursue the best possible approach. To schedule a free consultation to discuss your case, please contact my Suffolk County office at 631-286-0800.
