How Mr. Sris and His Of Counsel Handle Construction Contract Cases in Fauquier County

Construction contract disputes in Virginia are governed by a blend of contract law and specific statutory provisions like Virginia’s mechanic’s lien statutes (Va. Code § 43‑1 et seq.) and the Virginia Uniform Commercial Code. In Fauquier County, claims under the jurisdictional threshold may be heard in the General District Court, while larger disputes proceed in the Circuit Court. The applicable statute of limitations is five years for written contracts and three years for oral agreements, so acting promptly is essential.

Our approach to construction contract disputes is practical and focused on preserving your rights. Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel team review the contract terms, evidentiary documents, and the nature of the alleged breach. We explore negotiated resolution before litigation, but if court becomes necessary, we prepare thoroughly for trial. From demand letters through discovery and trial, we guide clients through each step. Because construction disputes often involve complex evidence — project schedules, change orders, construction defects — we work with qualified attorneys to build a well-prepared case.
