Unfortunately, the industry sometimes places individuals in a contractual situation with an unscrupulous contractor or builder. If you feel that you have lost your deposit or investment or wish to seek recovery of the same because of perceived fraud or misrepresentation, purposeful contract violations, or various failures by the builder to timely perform, you should immediately contact the firm. Developers and Builders usually assert delays are caused by "acts of God" or reasons out of their control, when in fact, labor shortages or disputes with subcontractors or material shortage or errors, or negligence in the performance of the contract is the cause. Upon our review of your contract and the facts, we may find that you have an actionable cause of action against the builder.
