A substantial portion of my current practice is devoted to Construction
and Real Estate law and litigation, with a particular emphasis on Materialmen and Mechanics' [contractor/subcontractor] Liens,
Landlord-Tenant/Lease disputes (Evictions/Dispossessories) and Mortgage/Loan disputes [e.g. Real Estate Settlement Procedures
Act ("RESPA"), Qualified Written Requests, Wrongful Foreclosure, Escrow Account disputes, Flood/Homeowner's Insurance
disputes] and various other property related cases, claims and disputes. I also handle Deed disputes,
Property Line Disputes, Riparian (Water) Rights, Trespass, Slander of Title, Nuisances and virtually any other dispute or
issue pertaining directly or indirectly to property, mortgages, lending, banking, credit, insurance, housing, leasing and
land. I do NOT, however, handle closings or other real estate transactions that do not involve a problem or dispute of some
kind with another entity or individual.

As of March 31, 2009, Georgia's Construction/Materialman
Lien laws changed rather significantly, and while I would not exactly characterize the differences as hugely substantial in
the overall scheme, there are certainly some important changes. Most appear to be reasonable and hopefully beneficial to all
parties [e.g. a less ambiguous manner of determining deadlines and calculating time periods], but it will be important for
those who handle such matters to proceed with caution to ensure compliance with the new statutory guidelines.
