Frequently Asked Questions About Construction Law

Being Board Certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization is the highest level of certification an attorney can achieve in a specific law practice discipline. A lawyer must first qualify by demonstrating their history of explicit practice in the given area of concentration. After qualifying, the lawyer must self-study volumes of materials, statutes, and laws that directly apply to that practice area. Then, they take a complex, day-long examination, which is similar to retaking the bar exam – except it is expressly focused on the particular subject matter specialty within the law.

Tony Ciccone leads Bollier Ciccone Stinson LLP’s construction law practice and earned Board Certification in 2017. Notably, he is among fewer than 30 Austin regional lawyers who have achieved formal construction law certification.

Martindale-Hubbell describes “AV Preeminent” lawyers as an “elite group” of attorneys with “strong legal ability and high ethical standards” based on evaluations by peers regarding their depth of legal knowledge, analytical capabilities, judgment, communication abilities, and law practice experience. Tony Ciccone, head of the firm’s construction law practice, is also rated “AV Preeminent” by Martindale-Hubbell.

Every business law matter and claim at Bollier Ciccone Stinson LLP is handled by a carefully selected team of attorneys who bring unique advantages to your specific case.

Bollier Ciccone Stinson LLP’s key civil litigation services include tactical negotiation, behind-the-scenes dispute resolution, mediation, arbitration, litigation, trial, and appeals. We have resolved disputes in such areas as general business, commercial, construction, and real estate litigation. We are experienced in partnership disputes, breach of contract, breach of warranty, breach of fiduciary duty, construction liens, bond claims, retainage liens, construction defect litigation, and all variety of contract claims, as well as claims pertaining to the Residential Construction Liability Act and Construction Trust Fund Act. Our clients include individuals and businesses of all shapes and sizes – and at every stage of the business life cycle – in Travis County, Williamson County, Hays County, and throughout Central Texas.

Not always—and that’s exactly why our approach works. At Bollier Ciccone Stinson LLP, we are known for our exceptional performance in the courtroom, and many attorneys from other firms would prefer not to face us there. However, we recognize that trial is not the right path for every case.

Some matters require an aggressive litigation strategy, and we’re fully prepared for that. But other situations benefit from a different strategy—such as negotiating a favorable settlement or pursuing dismissal of the claim altogether. Our team always prepares every case as if it will go to trial. This level of preparation strengthens our negotiation position and gives us a tactical edge, whether in the courtroom or across the table.

Ultimately, we’re committed to pursuing the most effective path for your goals—trial, settlement, or a creative alternative that saves you time and money, and preserves important relationships.
