Surety Law & Construction

Elizer Law Group, LLC, is nationally respected for our authority in U.S. Surety Law. We possess significant experience with surety bond claims and have negotiated and litigated hundreds of surety lawsuits. We represent both surety companies and the construction companies that seek to enforce their claims.

Our attorneys offer more than 40 years of experience and expertise in handling matters involving contract defaults, bankruptcy, project completion, and financing arrangements. We are actively engaged with surety bond firms, project owners, creditors, and financially troubled contractors during all stages of the construction process, including debt collection negotiation and payment structuring.

Our staff also includes professionals with finance backgrounds.

Elizer Law Group has been extremely successful in obtaining summary judgment and preliminary injunctions against corporate and individual indemnitors on behalf of our clients. We offer an expert level of service in assisting sureties in pre-litigation and post-petition negotiations of reorganization plans, conflicts regarding unpaid proceeds on bonded contracts, disputes relating to assumption of bonded obligations and completion of bonded obligations, and other issues involving surety bonds. In fact, our law firm is one of the few Surety Law practices in the nation to also offer surety bond collection, asset recovery, and reimbursement. Elizer Law Group also offers surety consulting services.

We also represent contractors and are skilled at enforcing lien rights on both private and public projects. We represent residential and commercial property owners in disputes with construction companies and home builders, helping to ensure that our clients get the quality work they were promised at the time their construction contracts were first negotiated.

Our Surety & Construction Law Practice includes, but is not limited to:

  • Prosecution of Surety Bond Claims

  • Mechanics Liens for Public and Private Projects

  • Surety Claims Adjustment

  • Surety Claims Defense

Just as no two clients are the same, each legal matter is also distinct. You can expect our attorneys to be ready to listen and learn about your unique situation and to plan and develop a custom solution that best addresses your legal matter.
