Has your client suffered a serious loss due to a construction related dispute? We may be able to help. STARK LAW welcomes referrals from attorneys and accountants.

Stark Law is committed to providing each and every Client with professional, aggressive and practical representation, while being sensitive to the Client’s unique concerns and goals. Our firm is equipped to deal with all issues involved in business litigation. Stark Law is prepared to aggressively represent its Clients’ concerns and interests from the first day a breach has occurred through a jury trial if an advantageous settlement is not reached.

Much of our business and commercial litigation services are offered on a contingency fee basis. This means that you do not have to pay attorneys fees unless we are able to obtain a successful verdict or settlement in your case. We are able to offer this convenience because we are confident about the cases we take and because we stand with our clients.

Individuals and smaller companies have suffered serious losses related to construction and as a result of those losses, cannot hire legal representation under traditional hourly fee structures. At we find that common situation to be an injustice. For that reason, in most cases we charge attorneys' fees only if we are successful in recovering compensation for our clients.*

*Typically our firm charges no fees for business to business litigation services unless our clients benefit from those services through a successful settlement or verdict. However clients are responsible for expenses related to litigation.

Identifying risks and avoiding litigation are central to our practice. Whenever possible, we will pursue negotiation, alternative dispute resolution and other means to attain our client's desired end result. If such measures do not prove fruitful, we will be prepared to go to court to achieve their goals

We handle disputes as varied and complex as today's business world. For example, we represent corporations in matters ranging from mortgage disputes, and business collections to fiduciary litigation. Business clients have relied on us in corporate control contests, contract disputes, and insurance disputes.

We also counsel clients in the defense of white collar criminal issues.
