Construction Disputes and Mechanics' Liens

Many things can go awry during a construction project. From changes in building plans, to non-payment of debts, and bond disputes, to jobsite injuries, these endeavors are ripe with possible legal disputes. They involve legal relationships between owners, contractors, sub-contractors, suppliers, and other third parties.

At Willis & Willis, we understand what is at stake during a construction project. Our construction law attorneys represent all parties from owners to contractors. With offices in Kalamazoo and Paw Paw, Michigan, our firm will guide you through a dispute, and help you reach an agreement that protects your interests.

Mechanics' Liens

Michigan's Construction Lien Act provides contractors a remedy for an owner who fails to pay for a construction project. In order to file a construction lien, you must follow the requirements established by the Act. We will file all documents necessary to get a lien against a delinquent property owner. We will defend a lien against allegations of improper billing, poor workmanship, and a missed deadline.

We represent clients in Kalamazoo, Cass, Barry, Calhoun, St. Joseph, Van Buren, Allegan, and Berrien counties, and all surrounding areas, but we have experience representing clients from California to Canada.
