Construction Claims and Expert Witness Services for Attorneys

You have a far greater assurance of winning with Pinnell/Busch than with other consultants or working only with your client's staff. We have the expertise and years of experience in supporting successful claims negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and litigation. We are firm believers in win/win negotiation and partnering, but intensely competitive in adversarial proceedings. 

We work for both contractors and owners in construction consulting and other non-dispute-related services, so we are perceived as non-biased and credible to arbitration panel members, mediators, judges, juries and opposing parties. Based on our continuing experience in the construction process, we are acknowledged claims experts. We have published papers in numerous trade journals, including the American Bar Association's Construction Law Journal, and have written the definitive book on construction claims for contractors - HOW TO GET PAID For Construction Changes, published by McGraw Hill.
