As Atlanta-area construction lawyers, we have served the needs of contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers in Jonesboro and throughout Clayton County Georgia for over two decades.  In addition to construction contracting, our focus has been on “construction collections” which include the preparation and filing of Mechanics and Materialmen’s Liens and making claims against Payment Bonds (Miller Act claims) throughout metro Atlanta.

Payment Bond Claims Against Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport

One of our first national clients was a equipment supplier which maintained a regional office in Clayton County; thus, our founding partner frequently visited the area and assisted our client with filing all of their lien and bond claim in Jonesboro and throughout Georgia.   Consequently, Clayton County is a favorite place for our construction lawyers.  Jonesboro’s unique history with its ties to Tara in Gone With the Wind and the location of Hartfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport within its boundaries make the services we offer vital to our clients.

Don't Let you Money be Gone with the Wind

At the risk of making a bad pun, if you don’t follow all of the deadlines and obligations to make a proper claim against a payment bond (private or public works) or timely file and prosecute your claim of lien, then your money will be “GONE WITH THE WIND”.  You see, our federal and state laws give construction professionals extra rights when it comes to collecting money which you are owed on Georgia projects.  The entity or person with whom you contract may owe you money, but if you exercise your rights to file construction liens and make claims against the payment bond, then you may find an additional source of payment from the owner, the general contractor and/or the surety.  This can go a very long way in making sure that you receive payment for your materials, your labor, and your suppliers.

In fact, since 1992, we have maintained an active lien and surety law practice in Clayton County.  We offer all of our clients the versatility of visiting us in person at our metro-Atlanta office or our South Georgia office, using our on-line services through our virtual law firm, or using modern technology to start their collection files which allows us the ability to handle our clients’ claims anywhere in Georgia!  In addition to a very active construction lien and payment bond claims practice, we offer a full range of construction law services including the following:

  • preparing and filing Notices of Commencements
  • contract drafting, review & negotiation
  • Georgia interim and final lien waivers
  • credit management and policy review
