Construction law is a branch of law that deals with matters relating to building construction, engineering, and related fields. It is in essence an amalgam of contract law, commercial law, planning law, employment law and tort.

It will take at least seven years to become a construction lawyer: four years for your undergrad and three for your JD. An LLM will add an additional year to this timeline.

Lawyers engage in a broad range of legal matters, while litigators specialize in taking cases to court and are adept at trial law. Choosing the right professional for your legal needs can be challenging, so do your research to determine which type of lawyer best suits your needs.

Thankfully, there are several options available to you for solving disputes against a contractor, some of these include submitting a complaint to the New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (also known as the DCWP/DCA), and filing a lawsuit in small claims court.

Evaluating the Severity of Defects Minor imperfections or cosmetic issues may not be sufficient grounds for legal action. However, if the defects significantly impact the functionality, safety, or value of the property, it may be necessary to pursue a lawsuit.

Call 311 or 212-NEW-YORK (212-639-9675) for help. To file a consumer complaint about a home improvement contractor working on residential property, use the Home Improvement Contractor Complaint page.

To win your case you will need to show evidence to the judge that supports your claims. Consider including pictures of your house or the work the contractor performed at the hearing. Also, consider including emails, text messages, and other correspondences between you and the contractor.
