Because each construction dispute is unique, an optimal resolution requires in each instance a creative legal strategy.  Ford Nassen & Baldwin's attorneys are experienced trial and appellate lawyers, arbitrators, mediators and advocates, enabling them to consider, recommend and influence the appropriate dispute resolution process to the advantage of their clients.

Disputes usually arise out of business transactions that were the result of direct negotiations between the parties. Ford Nassen & Baldwin attorneys understand that business-like settlement negotiations are usually the best means to resolve a dispute.  As your attorneys, our job is to create a climate and context for those negotiations to lead to a favorable outcome as inexpensively and quickly as possible.  This may require the arrangement of a pre-suit mediation, initiation of arbitration proceedings, or the prosecution of a lawsuit.  At all stages of the dispute resolution process, we explore settlement possibilities so that if the time and expense of a formal trial, arbitration, or appeal is necessary, our client has elected that route with the full knowledge that it had to be tried and could not have been settled voluntarily.

If a dispute must be resolved by means of a trial or arbitration, Ford Nassen & Baldwin's experienced litigators will be prepared and ready to present a client's legal position as persuasively and effectively as possible. Our attorneys have track records of successful outcomes in federal and state courts all over the country.  Our experience covers the broad range of problems that can arise out of any sophisticated construction project such as timing and cost of completion, or the quality of the final product caused by design defects, substandard workmanship or improper materials.
