New York Construction Attorneys for Payment Disputes, Mechanic's Liens, and Project Claims

When a construction project starts to break down—payments stop, liens are filed, delays escalate, or defects are alleged—you need a construction attorney who deals with these issues every day.

At Kushnick Pallaci PLLC, we represent contractors, subcontractors, developers, and property owners across New York in construction disputes and project-related legal issues. Our work focuses on what matters most in this industry: getting paid, protecting your position, and keeping projects moving when possible.

We handle mechanic’s liens and lien foreclosure actions, construction contract disputes, defect claims, delay and disruption issues, and violations involving DOB, ECB, and OSHA. Whether you are enforcing your rights or defending against a claim, the goal is the same—resolve the problem efficiently and put you in the strongest position possible.

Construction issues do not develop slowly. They show up mid-project, under pressure, and with real financial consequences. The approach here is direct and practical: assess the situation quickly, identify leverage, and take action that makes sense for the project and the business behind it.
