An Understanding of Business Law is Valuable for Any Construction Project.


Just as there are laws that apply to people, there is a huge body of law that applies to business. Businesses need these laws for the same reasons that people do: to define unacceptable behavior, to provide certainty and stability, to protect the public, and to provide a mechanism to resolve disputes. Thus, it’s important for business and property owners to have a basic understanding of business law to help them make better decisions. The team at Cesar A. Montalvo can help you to understand what rights you have against others, help you spot potential legal issues as they come up, and help you recognize when you might need legal help in the future.


Our Construction Lawyers Ensure Your Contracts Protect Your Interests


Contracts and Agreements in the construction industry are paramount and omnipresent, whether written or oral. Yes, Texas enforces oral agreements! If and when things go wrong, the language in these contracts often determines how conflicts will be resolved. Businesses and property owners need to have the appropriate systems in place in order to protect their interests as well as allow them to collect on their hard work. The construction lawyers at Cesar A. Montalvo review, negotiate, and draft contracts and agreements that best illustrate our client’s needs and intentions.

A Construction Lien Helps You Get Paid


A construction lien is designed to protect professionals from the risk of not being paid for services rendered. Both the Texas Constitution and the Texas Property Code contemplate the importance of materialmen to get paid for their work. Contractors, subcontractors, and others who perform labor or furnish material to improve real property are allowed to file construction liens. However, Texas lien law is very complicated, and many contractors lose their lien rights without even knowing. It is strongly advised that contractors seek guidance from an attorney experienced and comfortable with the specific requirements involved. The Law Offices of Cesar A. Montalvo help materialmen from small sub‐contractors to large general contractors to get paid for their work using legal tools created specifically for this industry.
