Advocating for clients in the construction industry since 2000

The Purdy Law Firm was started by John Purdy, who has been practicing construction litigation since 2000. The goal of the Purdy Law Firm is to provide clients with exceptional service and to build long-term relationships with those in the construction industry. In addition to extensive litigation experience in state and federal courts, Mr. Purdy has spent decades reviewing and drafting documents regularly used in the construction industry, such as contracts, credit applications, purchase orders, quotes, payment bonds, partial and final waivers, and joint check agreements. He understands the value of having and using well drafted documents, the use of which can oftentimes keep contractors out of trouble on construction projects and can help avoid litigation.

Mr. Purdy also has extensive experience filing and defending against Mechanic’s Liens on commercial and residential projects in multiple jurisdictions. Protecting your Mechanic’s Lien rights can be a dizzying maze of complex rules and requirements, which vary from state to state. As preserving Mechanic’s Lien rights can often be the difference between getting paid and not getting paid on a project, it is worth it to hire a professional with experience and a proven track record who will get it done right.

Payment bonds are another form of security often seen on construction projects. Mr. Purdy has represented bond claimants, bond principals, and sureties, and he is familiar with the role payment bonds play on projects. He has been litigating payment bond claims for over twenty years, and has successfully collected from claims made against most major payment bond sureties in the industry.
