Serving our Clients

Our practice is designed for a single purpose-to help you with construction related legal matters.

Some law firms tell you they will provide aggressive, knowledgable and cost effective representation. That is a minimum standard that all attorneys' are obligated to provide for their clients, so why would this be a unique selling point? We don't know either.

You need to be sure that the background and culture of the firm you plan on working with is in sync with your business. In other words, is the firm going to be a good fit for your needs?

We are focused- Scholefield Associates does not claim to practice all areas of law. While it may appear impressive to boast that a firm practices in many areas of law, this really is meaningless when you need help in a construction related matter.

Nobody can be all things to all people; we realize this and rather than be the jack-of-all-trades…we think of ourselves as the master of one.

Your law firm should understand your construction business better than you. Our belief is that there is no substitute for hands-on experience. We have that experience. There are many attorneys that think they have "worked" in construction, but only as lawyers. There are even fewer attorneys that are also engineers. And there are even fewer law firms that have engineers and licensed contractors on staff. Just ask yourself this question:

Do you know more about law than your attorney knows about construction?

Without practical experience, your legal costs could become unnecessarily expensive as you teach your attorney your business.

We service all construction industry related clients including manufacturers, agencies, distributors, subcontractors, general contractors and owners. We concentrate only on construction law matters and issues faced by those in this industry. We know the California construction community and are very focused on our area of expertise.
