Contractors, owners, developers, subcontractors, and the design professionals working alongside them. Contract disputes, defect litigation, lien and bond matters, certificate of merit defense, and Texas appeals.
Construction disputes don't respect professional silos. Alex represents the full range of participants in the design and construction chain — with deep experience in the disputes that arise when those parties collide.
Defense in owner claims, subcontractor disputes, scope and change order litigation, mechanic's lien defense, and counterclaim recovery when your contract supports it.
Defense when claims are filed and contract counsel before the next project starts. Signing GC-drafted subcontracts without legal review is the single biggest source of preventable loss.
Project disputes from pre-construction through closeout. Contract drafting and negotiation, default and termination, defect claims, payment and lien strategy, and warranty enforcement.
Construction administration liability, owner and contractor disputes, professional negligence defense, and Chapter 150 certificate of merit practice at trial and on appeal.
MEP contractors, structural specialists, material suppliers, and equipment vendors. Flow-down indemnity, coordination liability, and payment claims under Chapter 53 and Chapter 2253.
Statute of repose exposure, professional liability insurance alignment, and Certificate of Merit defense posture for the ancillary licensed professionals on every project.
From prime contracts through specialty subcontracts — breach of contract claims, payment disputes, change order disagreements, and scope-of-work litigation.
Defect claims against contractors, suppliers, and design professionals — both pursuing recovery for owners and defending against defect allegations.
Texas has some of the most technical lien and bond claim requirements in the country. Missing a statutory deadline is typically unrecoverable.
Defense of contractors and owners in personal injury and wrongful death claims arising from construction site accidents — including full defense verdicts in catastrophic injury cases.
When construction disputes involve licensed design professionals, Chapter 150 creates a powerful early-dismissal opportunity — or a hard procedural problem for the claimant who fails to navigate it.
Chapter 150 requires a certificate of merit before suing a design professional. Getting this right is dispositive. Alex has obtained dismissals of Chapter 150 certificate of merit claims at the trial court level and reversed trial court denials on appeal — including obtaining reversal at the Fifth Court of Appeals when the trial court erroneously ruled the statute did not apply at all.
For contractors and owners pursuing recovery, knowing which claims trigger Chapter 150 and how to draft a sufficient certificate is equally critical. A defective certificate is fatal — and the statute does not allow do-overs.
