Construction claims are increasing throughout metro Atlanta, and Fayetteville in Fayette County, Georgia is no exception. With a population of over 100,000, historic architecture including Georgia’s oldest courthouse, a list of celebrity residences over a mile long, Fayette County is a great place to be, and we are proud to support its subcontractors and material suppliers from the convenience of our metro-Atlanta office.
If you are a construction industry professional, then it is vital–more than ever–to make sure that you take advantage of every opportunity to make sure you get paid. Fortunately, Georgia’s law on construction liens as well as the Little Miller Act offer you benefits to ensure your payments. However, to avail yourself of these wonderful benefits, you must send proper notices, make timely claims, and properly prosecute your rights effectively. Mistakes can make the difference between getting paid and losing your shirt. Don’t let this happen to you.

Our firm is very unique; in fact, we have developed a focus to our practice which is beginning to be referred to as “Subcontractor Law“; our founding partner has co-authored a national publication on this subject; he regularly speaks at seminars and conferences; and he has helped countless construction companies get paid for their work.
