Having Building Problems with Our Builder

Amy A. | Oct 16, 2018
We are having problems with our builder and searching the website site, I came across their article saying "I can sue a builder for:" and listed all the reasons why. I found this helpful because it stated, in steps, the actual breaches , fraud and deceit and the violation of ch.93A. I feel more informed with this article and feel confident I can negotiate with this information to start before continuing with an attorney. Also I emailed them and received a quick response from Mr. Peter Calabrese. Thank you.
Mr. Calabrese was very professional, punctual and concise throughout the proceedings.

Our company hired a painter for a large scale job. We signed a contract with the painter. Needless to say, we paid the painter more than he was contracted for. To our surprise he sued us saying that we underpaid him. I contacted Attorney Calabrese and asked for help. He reviewed all the documents, the contract and blue prints. Mr. Calabrese was able to find information that helped validate the fact that we paid for the painting services and then some. Mr. Calabrese was very professional, punctual and concise throughout the proceedings. He immediately made arraignments to travel to Connecticut to deal with our matter. To our delight, he defended our position and was able to win our case. We highly recommend Calabrese Law Associates.

I was owed many thousands of dollars by a property developer that wouldn't pay for my construction services. Peter successfully used the mechanics liens laws to secure my payment and ultimately collected all monies I was owed without having to file a lawsuit. Great job!

I was having issues with my neighbor polluting my property. I called Calabrese Law Associates and spoke with a lawyer immediately. The firm wrote my neighbor a letter demanding that they stop polluting my property and that the debris be cleaned up. The case went to litigation and I was able to recover my costs to clean up the polluting debris, loss in property value, plus other losses I suffered. Amazing lawyers and I plan to use them again in the future!

John T. | Mar 13, 2014
Thank you for resolving the problems I was having with my contractor and for recovering the money I have now spent to correct the contractor's mistakes! When the contractor stopped working on the new addition to my home I did not know what to do, especially after realizing that he had done the work completely wrong. Calabrese Law and its lawyers contacted the contractor and demanded a refund of my monies. The contractor did not respond at first but after the firm filed a breach of contract claim for me and won, the contractor was forced to refund my money plus interest! I highly recommend Calabrese Law Associates. Thanks again!

I was involved in a multi-party and multi-count litigation involving various complex construction, real estate, and contract issues. I had worked with numerous lawyers in the past but was not satisfied with their performance. I retained Attorney Calabrese as my trial counsel shortly before my scheduled trial date and he was able to quickly review decades-worth of documentation and prepare a compelling case. The trial lasted many days and throughout that process Attorney Calabrese absolutely delivered the best possible result for me! I would like to mention that Peter is very easy to talk to and he values his client's opinions and remains focused on his client's goals.
