ATTORNEY PETER MAVRICK RECENTLY RECOVERED PAYMENT FOR SUBCONTRACTOR IN CONSTRUCTION CASE
Peter Mavrick, a Fort Lauderdale lawyer, recently recovered funds owed to his client, a construction subcontractor in a case venued in Palm Beach Circuit Court. The settlement was paid by a general contractor to attorney Peter Mavrick’s client, Scotti M. Glass & Mirror, Inc., a subcontractor that supplied labor and materials under a construction contract. Before hiring Peter Mavrick’s law office, the business had unsuccessfully sought payment for its services for several months.

Glass & Mirror, Inc. had actually been a defendant in a previous case, and attorney Peter Mavrick represented the plaintiff in that case. After resolution of that case, the company asked Peter Mavrick about the possibility of representation in the construction collection case.

After the real estate boom, there has been an increase in construction payment disputes, especially where subcontractors need to recover payments from general contractors. Especially for small businesses, the non-payment for labor and materials can be financially devastating.
The law office of attorney Peter Mavrick has represented construction sub-contractors to recover payments for services and materials rendered. Some sub-contractors have actually had to close their businesses because they got so deep into non-payments from the general contractors. While waiting for payments that never arrive, the sub-contractor has to pay its workers, its office, phones, insurance, taxes, and pay for materials for the construction contract. The bigger the sub-contractor’s commitment to the construction project, the more devastating non-payment becomes to the sub-contractor’s business.
