Ken is dedicated to helping solve construction and development clients’ most complicated problems with as little disruption as possible to their businesses.
He represents architects, engineers, owners and contractors in construction disputes over alleged defective design and construction, delays, cost overruns, interference, obstruction, property damage and suspension of work. He litigates claims arising from injuries on project sites or from defective construction. His substantial experience also includes related civil litigation, arbitration and mediation.
Ken’s familiarity with the construction and design industry dates to his college days, when he worked for a residential and small commercial contractor.
