Reading the roster in Santa Rosa. Construction disputes reward attorneys fluent in the deadline lattice (preliminary notices, lien and foreclosure windows, Right to Repair pre-litigation steps), so ask early counsel to calendar every date. Owners should ask about defect-claim strategy and expert costs; contractors and subs about lien and stop-notice practice and CSLB exposure. Many construction contracts compel arbitration, and prevailing-party fee clauses are common enough to change settlement math on both sides.
