Artemis Law Group did an excellent job helping me settle a case with my contractor. The attorneys were knowledgeable, professional, and responsive throughout the process. Their approach saved me time and stress. If you're dealing with contractor issues, I highly recommend giving them a call.

Aryan G.

We cannot thank Artemis Law Group enough. We unfortunately were taken advantage of by a construction company. We reached out to Artemis Law and from the very first consultation they were very supportive and open with us and told us what our options were moving forward. We worked closely with Mr. Mansour Jarafian. With the help of Mr. Mansour and his team's help we were able to ratify our situation. I know sometimes people are hesitant to work with lawyers. But Artemis Law made the process simple and explained everything step by step of what happens next and how they were going to help us. They were excellent with communication as well. I would send an email or call them and within a business day I would have a response.

We were going through so much stress; we were financially tied up in this matter and it effected our house with our newborn baby and our family business. To say it was a stressful situation is an understatement. Mr. Mansour was so kind and caring through everything we were going through. Their law group really did represent us when we needed it most and we are very grateful to have worked with them and received the help we did. If you are looking for a professional and caring lawyer to represent you, we would recommend Artemis Law Group for your family or business.

They did a great job helping us understand our rights and and deal with a shady contractor.

Joseph D.

Perhaps the thing that impressed me most about Atty. Russel Rad was nothing was "sugar coated". He was very straight forward and told me what to expect each step of the way. Going thru the construction claim from start to finish, Atty. Rad kept me informed of each step and what the options were and what the risks were. Atty. Rad is absolutely fantastic and did a great job! I highly recommend him!

Construction Law FAQs

How is liability determined in a construction case?

Liability in a construction case depends on the specific facts and parties involved. Property owners, developers, contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers, suppliers, or other parties may be held responsible if their actions contributed to the issue. Determining liability often requires reviewing contracts, project records, construction plans, inspection reports, and expert evaluations. Our construction attorneys in San Diego conduct a thorough analysis to identify responsible parties and protect our clients’ interests.

What is the Right To Repair Act?

California’s Right To Repair Act (SB 800) establishes standards for residential construction and outlines procedures for addressing certain construction defects. In many cases, homeowners must provide the builder with notice of alleged defects and an opportunity to inspect and repair the issues before litigation proceeds. The law can affect deadlines, claims, and dispute resolution options, making experienced legal guidance important.

What do I do if I am facing mechanics’ liens?

If you are facing a mechanics’ lien, it is important to act quickly. Mechanics’ liens can impact property rights, financing, and future transactions. Whether you are a property owner disputing a lien or a contractor seeking payment, legal counsel can help evaluate the validity of the lien, review supporting documentation, and pursue appropriate remedies to resolve the dispute.

Are construction laws different for San Diego?

Construction projects in San Diego are generally governed by California construction laws, but local building codes, permitting requirements, zoning regulations, and municipal ordinances may also apply. Understanding both state and local requirements is essential to avoiding disputes and maintaining compliance throughout a project.
