When you buy residential or commercial real estate, you deserve to receive exactly what you paid for—nothing more and certainly nothing less. Unfortunately, hidden defects and construction flaws can turn what should be a sound investment into a financial and legal nightmare. That’s where we come in.
At DPA Attorneys at Law, we represent buyers, investors, developers, and property owners who are facing construction defect and property condition disputes. Whether you’re dealing with issues that were concealed during escrow, or you’ve discovered new problems due to poor workmanship, design flaws, or the use of substandard materials, our firm is ready to protect your interests.
We provide comprehensive legal counsel at every stage of the dispute process—from initial claim evaluation and notice to the builder, to informal resolution and full-blown litigation. Our team will assess construction defect claims and identify responsible parties, which may include contractors, developers, subcontractors, engineers, or manufacturers.
Our services include:
- Review and analysis of purchase and sale agreements
- Strategic handling of post-closing defect claims
- Pursuing breach of contract and fraud claims
- Asserting and defending against claims of negligence and strict liability
- Managing insurance coverage disputes related to construction defects
- Representing clients in mediation, arbitration, or court
- Coordinating with expert engineers, inspectors, and contractors for technical analysis
- Ensuring compliance with statutory notice and warranty provisions (e.g., SB800 in California)
Whether you’re dealing with foundational cracks, water intrusion, roofing problems, plumbing failures, electrical issues, or any other construction-related defect, we bring both real estate transaction experience and aggressive litigation skills to your side.
If you’ve discovered a problem in your property—or you’re a developer or contractor facing a claim—contact us today at info@dpalaw.com or 760-372-0007. We’ll help you understand your rights, options, and the best path forward.
