Announcement: Now On CDRS Panel
I am now formally on the panel of mediators-arbitrators at Construction Dispute Resolution Services. I will be writing about this more later as well as my opinion about the future of alternative dispute resolution services in light of severe budget cuts to both state and federal courts.
Modifying the Course, But Not the Destination
People who know me know that before I was an attorney, I was a building contractor because, well, I tell them. All the time.
I really enjoyed building things. There is nothing more rewarding that standing on the curb and looking at a home or other structure that you were a part in the making. For certain, the structures that I was a part in the making were not on the scale of the Hoover Dam, but they were well built and good looking.
Sometimes I wonder why I quit building and decided to go to law school. Then, I remind myself that I had this grand plan that I could combine my skills as a builder and business person with the practice of law. For the most part, it’s worked out. Not a huge amount of construction law, but lots of zoning and homeowners associations issues. Until now.
I am adding to my law practice alternative dispute resolution services in the practice areas of construction disputes, homeowners associations, commercial owners associations, and commercial landlord-tenant matters. I am really excited by this new development.
Of course, I will continue with my practice area of legal research and writing, and taxation research and writing. I guess I want it all!
