Round Rock, Texas
12 Yrs Experience
Licensed in TX IL
Valparaiso University School of Law

My clients know me as more than just an attorney. First and foremost, my background is much broader than that. Prior to attending the Valparaiso University School of Law, I earned a Master of Business Administration and ran a small business as a certified public accountant. Thanks to this experience, I possess unique insight which in turn allows me to better assist my clients with a wide range of business and tax matters today. In total, I have over 20 years of experience in financial management, tax law, and business consulting, and I’m proud to say that I’m utilizing the knowledge I’ve gained to assist the community of Round Rock in a variety of ways. In my current practice, I provide counsel to small to medium-sized businesses, nonprofit organizations, and everyday individuals. Though my primary areas of practice are estate planning, elder law, business consulting, and tax planning, I pride myself on assisting my clients in a comprehensive manner. Whenever I take on a new client, I make an effort to get to know them on a personal level. This, of course, begins with listening. It is important that I fully understand their vision so I can help them successfully translate it into a concrete plan of action that meets their goals and expectations. I appreciate the individual attributes of each client and know firsthand that thoughtful, creative, and customized planning can maximize both financial security and personal happiness. During my time as a certified public accountant, I cultivated an invaluable skill set. After all, while my legal education has given me a deep understanding of tax law, I would not be the tax attorney I am today without my background in accounting. Due to my far-reaching experience, I am competent in unraveling even the most complex tax mysteries and disputes. My CPA training benefits my estate planning practice, too. In the process of drafting comprehensive wills and trusts, I carefully account for every asset and plan for any tax burdens that may arise, often facilitating a much smoother inheritance for the heirs of my clients. Prior to becoming certified as a CPA, I made sure to establish a solid foundation in business both in and out of the classroom, and the acumen I’ve attained has served me well. Not only am I better able to run my own practice than I otherwise would be; I am able to help other small business owners fulfill their dreams, as well.

Construction Contractor Legal Questions and Answers

General Contractor Contract

Texas

Asked on Jan 24, 2025

Is it legal for a general contractor to include a clause in the contract that limits the homeowner's right to sue for construction defects?

I recently hired a general contractor to renovate my home, and in the contract they provided, there is a clause that states I am waiving my right to sue them for any construction defects and instead must go through arbitration or mediation. I'm concerned about signing away my legal rights and want to know if this clause is enforceable or if it violates any consumer protection laws.

Jennifer B.

Answered Jan 28, 2025

Under Texas law, general contractors can include provisions that require disputes about construction issues or defects to be resolved through mediation and arbitration rather than going to court. It is enforceable and it is not a violation of consumer protection law. To be valid, the arbitration requirement must be clearly visible in the contract - specifically in bold, 10-point type or larger. This ensures you can make an informed decision about agreeing to arbitration. For disputes over alleged construction defects where damages exceed $7,500, Texas law provides for mandatory mediation if requested by either party. Mediation involves working with a neutral third party to reach a mutually agreeable solution. If mediation doesn't resolve the issue, the dispute would then go to binding arbitration - where an arbitrator hears both sides and makes a final decision. Texas courts recognize and enforce these types of arbitration agreements. While arbitration and mediation can often provide faster and less expensive resolution than litigation, you should carefully review these provisions before signing.

General Contractor Contract

Massachusetts

Asked on Jun 16, 2024

Can a general contractor include a clause in the contract that allows them to terminate the agreement without cause?

I am a homeowner who recently hired a general contractor to oversee a major renovation project on my property. We have signed a contract that outlines the scope of work, payment terms, and project timeline. However, I noticed a clause in the contract that states the general contractor has the right to terminate the agreement at any time, without providing a specific reason. This concerns me as I want to ensure that the contractor will complete the project as agreed upon. I would like to know if it is common and legally permissible for general contractors to include such termination clauses in their contracts, and what my rights and options are in this situation.

Mark L.

Answered Jun 19, 2024

Other than the terms that Massachusetts requires to appear in a home improvement contract between a homeowner and a registered home improvement contractor, the parties can agree to pretty much any other terms (provided they are not illegal, or void on public policy grounds). The GC is probably including this "termination without cause" right in his standard agreement in case a more lucrative job comes along and he'd lose out on it if he continued on your project. I would strongly recommend that you insist the contract be amended to remove that clause. Here is a link to the Mass. Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulations' guidance on this topic: https://www.mass.gov/info-details/required-contract-terms-in-a-home-improvement-contract. And assuming he is a registered home improvement contractor, while amending the contract to strike the termination language, you should also add any of the Massachusetts-required terms that are missing, or update them as appropriate. Hopefully, you have a good relationship with your contractor and he will agree, at least to the removal of the termination language. If the contractor has integrity, he should agree to remove the language and add/update any missing required terms.

Plumbing Contract

Washington

Asked on Jun 27, 2025

Can a plumbing contractor change the terms of a signed contract without my consent?

I recently hired a plumbing contractor to repair some leaks in my home, and we signed a contract that clearly outlined the scope of work, timeline, and cost. However, after a few days, the contractor informed me that they would need to change some of the terms, including an increase in the cost and an extension of the timeline, without providing any valid reasons or seeking my consent. I'm concerned about my rights as a consumer and whether the contractor can unilaterally modify the contract in this manner.

Merry K.

Answered Jul 11, 2025

Speaking very generally, the answer will depend on the wording of the contract itself, and just what you agreed to. However, it's common for this type of contract to include provisions for a work change order. Look to see if your contract includes a reference to something like a "change order" - this is usually how the reference to the formal document used to modify the original contract is call - typically for: Additional work, Changes in scope or materials, Adjustments to cost or timeline. It must be agreed to and signed by both parties (typically the contractor and homeowner or project owner) before the change is performed, unless the contract provides otherwise. The key is whether or not your contract provides otherwise. Sometimes contracts allow for extra time/materials that a contractor may find once walls are opened and whether hidden defects and problems can be seen. Your plumber should explain to you the reasons for the extra charges. I hope that's been helpful. Don't forget you can find a residential contruction contract attorney through ContractsCounsel.com to review the contract and negotiate with the plumber on your behalf. (I do not do this kind of work myself right now).

Contractor Agreement

Washington

Asked on Oct 22, 2023

Does a contractor agreement need notarization?

I am a property owner who recently hired a contractor to complete a renovation project on my home. I have been presented with a contractor agreement that needs to be signed by both parties, but I am unsure if the agreement needs to be notarized. I am seeking advice from a lawyer to ensure that I am correctly following the legal requirements in this situation.

Merry K.

Answered Nov 10, 2023

I have never heard of this type of contract being notarized - what is far more important, however, are all the terms of the agreement - especially such things as timelines, milestones, cost overruns, etc. If you are signing a contract for more than a few thousand dollars, I urge you to have a construction contract attorney review the contract before you sign it. I come across SO many problems with residential contractors I couldn't begin to list them all!

Contractor Agreement

California

Asked on Oct 23, 2023

Can a contractor agreement be transferred?

I am a homeowner looking to hire a contractor to complete a renovation project. I have been given a contractor agreement from another homeowner who has completed the same project, and I am wondering if the agreement can be transferred to my project. I am curious to know if the agreement needs to be amended or rewritten in any way in order for it to be legally binding for my project.

Luiza D.

Answered Dec 1, 2023

While it may be tempting to just use a "template" agreement, It is essential to ensure that the terms are appropriately tailored to your specific renovation project. The success of the agreement hinges a lot on its accuracy in reflecting the unique aspects of your situation. To determine the suitability of the existing contractor agreement, it's advisable to review the document thoroughly and assess its alignment with the particulars of your project. Factors such as project scope, timelines, costs, indemnification, attorneys fees provision and any specific requirements relevant to your renovation should be carefully considered. If there are significant differences between the completed project referenced in the agreement and your renovation, it may be necessary to amend or customize the terms accordingly. It's crucial to address any project-specific details, potential changes in scope, timelines, payment schedules, and other pertinent elements that might differ from the original agreement. Engaging with a legal professional experienced in contract law can provide valuable insights. They can assist in ensuring that the agreement is comprehensive, legally sound, and fully aligned with the intricacies of your renovation project. Remember, the key is to have a contract that adequately protects your interests and outlines clear expectations for both parties involved. If you have any further questions or need assistance in reviewing and customizing the agreement, seeking legal advice would be a prudent next step.
