Experienced Construction Law Firm In Detroit: An “Industry Insider” Perspective On Your Case

When complex legal challenges arise on a job site, businesses need a legal team that understands the industry from the ground up. Ray M. Toma, PC, brings over 30 years of dedicated experience to construction and real estate law. Because the firm’s team includes a lawyer with hands-on career experience as a civil engineer, a project engineer for one of North America’s largest construction contractors and a licensed residential builder, the firm’s attorneys do not need their clients to explain the nuances of the industry to them.

Construction managers, contractors, suppliers, architects, engineers, and insurers trust the firm for calm, assertive and strategic advice in all construction law matters across Southeast Michigan.

Comprehensive Construction Law Representation

The legal professionals at Ray M. Toma, PC, are exceptionally well-versed and experienced in every facet of the construction process. Their experience includes extensive work in the following areas:

  • Mediating and litigating construction disputes
  • Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and certified civil mediation
  • Construction contract drafting, review and negotiation
  • Construction liens and lien foreclosure
  • Payment and performance bond claims
  • Surety issues
  • Construction contract disputes, delay and impact claims
  • Construction defect, design and specification claims
  • Overcoming federally contracted construction projects

As “industry insiders” with hands-on career experience in civil engineering and construction management, the attorneys at Ray M. Toma, PC, understand how quickly job site disputes can stall a project and drain a business’s resources.

Whether a company requires a certified Civil Mediator to facilitate a fair out-of-court resolution or a proven trial lawyer to protect its interests in litigation, the firm has the holistic, real-world knowledge needed to safeguard a project’s bottom line.

Strategic Solutions For Every Project

Knowledge of construction law is insufficient when it doesn’t support a client’s business objectives. The attorneys at Ray M. Toma, PC, combine extensive legal knowledge with innovative thinking and problem-solving to find solutions that work for their clients’ projects and futures.

An open mind and a focus on innovation are essential when working with lenders, sureties, contractors and other players in the construction industry.

Whether the goal is to negotiate a contract out of court or litigate a complex dispute, the construction law attorneys focus on advancing the interests of their clients at every step. They ensure that large and small businesses are on the sound legal footing they need to succeed.

Construction Law Frequently Asked Questions

To help businesses better understand their legal options when facing complex challenges, they have compiled answers to several frequently asked questions regarding their construction law representation.

How can alternative dispute resolution benefit a commercial construction project?

Alternative dispute resolution, such as mediation, can help businesses find a fair and reasonable solution that protects their resources and saves time, money and stress. Because a great deal of the firm’s practice focuses on dispute resolution, clients have access to flexible conflict resolution strategies.

The firm’s legal team includes a certified Civil Mediator who can facilitate negotiations to try to settle contract disputes out of court. However, if the opposing party is entirely unreasonable, the firm’s attorneys are trusted trial lawyers fully prepared to protect their clients’ interests in litigation.

What should a business do if a subcontractor threatens a construction lien?

Threatened liens can completely stall negotiations and complicate a project. It is crucial to have an attorney step in to review and negotiate the contracts to resolve the conflict. With over three decades of experience, Ray M. Toma, PC, is highly capable of managing liens, bonds and construction defects for businesses of all sizes.

Why does an attorney’s industry experience matter?

Working with an “industry insider” means clients do not have to explain the nuances of the construction business to their lawyer. Because the firm’s attorney team includes a founder who spent his entire career in the real estate and construction industries – possessing rare, hands-on experience in engineering, real estate and development – the firm can provide highly targeted legal strategies. The attorneys at the firm understand the practical realities of the job site and align their legal advice with real-world business goals
