Contractor disputes can shut down a project, disrupt cash flow, and trigger claims that damage your reputation. At the Law Offices of Adam G. Hill, we handle construction and contractor disputes across Florida, with offices in Tampa, Orlando, and Fort Myers.

A major part of our practice is construction law, and we routinely represent:

• Builders and general contractors

• Subcontractors and trades

• Developers and property owners

• Suppliers and related businesses

Common Contractor Disputes We Handle

Construction conflicts are rarely “just one issue.” We regularly assist clients with:

• Nonpayment / slow payment / withheld retainage

• Scope and change order disputes

• Delay claims and scheduling conflicts

• Termination disputes (for cause vs. convenience)

• Defective work allegations and warranty conflicts

• Misrepresentation and project-related fraud

• Interference with contracts and unfair competition issues

Construction Liens and Payment Rights

Florida construction projects involve strict lien rules. We help clients understand and use the tools available under Florida’s construction lien law (Chapter 713).
If you’re a contractor or subcontractor, a lien strategy may be essential to recovering payment. If you’re an owner, lien disputes can threaten title and financing.

Construction Defect Claims and Chapter 558 Notices

If you’re facing defect allegations—or you need to pursue them—Florida’s Chapter 558 notice and opportunity to repair process often matters before litigation.
We help clients respond strategically, document the claim, and protect their position early.

Our Goal: Resolve Disputes Efficiently, Protect Your Leverage

Every case is different, but our approach is consistent:

• Evaluate contract rights and leverage

• Identify the fastest path to resolution (without giving away your position)

• Prepare for litigation when needed to protect your outcome
