Construction Law
Miami construction lawyer for contractors who build—and protect—their work
Built for Contractors, Not Homeowners
At Felipe Law, P.A., we represent contractors and construction professionals in Miami—not homeowners. Whether you're dealing with contract disputes, delayed payments, or defect claims, we help protect what you’ve built.
Attorney Jennifer Felipe is Board-Certified in Construction Law by The Florida Bar—an honor awarded to fewer than 1% of Florida attorneys. That means we understand the industry, the paperwork, and the litigation process from start to finish.
We’ve worked with general contractors, subcontractors, and design professionals on projects across Coral Gables, Doral, Brickell, and beyond.
Legal Services for Construction Professionals
Our construction law practice is focused, strategic, and responsive. We represent contractors in:
Contract Disputes
We represent contractors in breach of contract claims involving scope, timelines, or payment terms. Our goal is to enforce your agreements while minimizing disruption to ongoing projects.
Payment and Lien Issues
Nonpayment can threaten cash flow and project stability. We assist with lien enforcement and payment disputes to help you recover what you’re owed.
Defect Defense
Construction defect claims require technical understanding and careful documentation. We defend contractors against allegations related to workmanship, materials, or design responsibility.
Bond and Insurance Matters
We handle disputes involving performance bonds, payment bonds, and insurance coverage. Our team works to protect your interests and ensure coverage obligations are honored.
Licensing and Compliance
Maintaining proper licensing and regulatory compliance is essential in the construction industry. We help contractors address violations, renewals, and compliance challenges before they escalate.
Dispute Resolution
When conflicts can’t be resolved informally, we represent contractors in arbitration or litigation. Our approach is strategic and focused on efficient, favorable outcomes.
Why Contractors Choose Felipe Law
Construction is complex. So is the legal side of it. Our clients choose us because we:
Contractor-Only Focus
We represent contractors exclusively, not owners or developers. This focus allows us to advocate without conflicts and with a deep understanding of your position.
Industry Fluency
We don’t need explanations of how construction works—we already speak the language. That saves time and keeps discussions efficient and results-driven.
Clear Risk Advice
We provide straightforward guidance on legal risks, timelines, and strategic options. Our goal is to help you make informed decisions before problems escalate.
Direct Communication
We communicate early, often, and directly with our clients. You’ll always know where things stand and what’s coming next.
Practical Insight
Our advice is grounded in real-world construction experience, not abstract legal theory. We focus on solutions that make sense on the job site and on the balance sheet.
Business-Minded Strategy
We approach disputes with your long-term business interests in mind. Every recommendation considers cost, disruption, and future working relationships.
Take Action Before a Dispute Escalates
In construction law, timing matters. Missing a notice or lien deadline could cost you your rights. Talking to an attorney early can save time, money, and leverage.
At Felipe Law, we’ll review your contract, assess your claim, and give you straightforward advice—whether it’s time to negotiate or prepare for court.
Why Medical Malpractice Representation Matters
Even strong cases can be undermined by fear, misinformation, or pressure from insurance companies. Our disciplined litigation process protects clients from making emotional decisions—such as accepting low settlements or backing down when providers deny wrongdoing. We help you remain focused, grounded, and confident throughout the process.
Discipline & Risk Control
We bring structure to an overwhelming situation. Our team helps you avoid reactionary decisions, ensures deadlines are met, and pushes back against hospitals and insurers who rely on delay tactics. Each step is designed to control risk and protect the strength of your claim.
Expertise & Research
We dedicate extensive resources to medical research, expert review, legal analysis, and case preparation. This allows you to focus on recovery while we shape the legal strategy, evaluate data, and prepare for trial or negotiation.
Fiduciary Oversight
As a dedicated malpractice firm, we operate without hidden fees, commissions, or third-party incentives. Every action we take serves one purpose: achieving justice for you and your family.
