Commercial Litigation & Construction Disputes

Byron T. Cooksey, Jason L. Odom, Eugene J. O'Neill

The construction attorneys of Gould Cooksey Fennell bring decades of experience to the table when clients are faced with issues relating to construction, real estate and land use law and litigation.  We understand and have specific experience with the complexities involved in construction projects, particularly those along Florida's Treasure Coast.

All too often, the myriad of financing, zoning, land use and related issues that any construction project entails, leads to problems that cannot be amicably resolved between the parties.  In many instances, lending institutions, state and federal agencies and local government are involved in addition to the usual array of developers, contractors, sub-contractors and construction workers.   This combination of complex issues and numerous interested parties can increase the likelihood that construction-related problems will occur, which in many cases leads to resolving the dispute in a court of law. 

 In Gould Cooksey Fennell's ongoing efforts to deliver high quality, cost-effective services to its clients, we will also explore alternative dispute resolution options such as arbitration and/or mediation.  These forms of recourse have proven themselves in certain instances to achieve results agreeable to all parties while enabling our clients to avoid the oftentimes high cost of litigation.

 The construction law attorneys of Gould Cooksey Fennell can provide skilled representation not only in state courts but also before a broad range of local agencies.  Members of the Construction Litigation and Real Property Development have backgrounds, training and experience in such areas as civil engineering, building construction, business litigation, contract disputes, taxation, citrus and agricultural issues, governmental planning and zoning.  This coupled with many years of proven trial experience enables Gould Cooksey Fennell to offer the highest quality construction and construction litigation services available anywhere in the region.
