Case Details

Client was a general commercial construction contractor out of Houston, Texas that hired the defendants to perform a portion of the work on two auto parts stores. The sub-contractor/defendant was ultimately fired from the job site due to a poor quality of work and not completing the job on schedule. The sub-contractor/defendant originally filed a lien against the property claiming our client breached the contract and sued to foreclose on the lien. Our client hired our office to defend the lien foreclosure case on behalf of the owners and to bring a counter-claim against the sub-contractor/defendant. On our motion, and at our client’s request, all matters were ordered to proceed to binding arbitration in Houston, Texas in accordance with our client’s contract. We partnered with another law firm in Texas to handle the arbitration for cost saving reasons. After the arbitrator ruled in our client’s favor, we entered the judgment against the sub-contractor in two Illinois courts. We then moved to dismiss all remaining cases filed by the sub-contractor against our client and the property owner and both judges granted our motions. A second case was subsequently filed by our office against the company’s owner individually and we were successful in entering the judgment against him personally.
