Mark J. Hourigan (Hourigan Construction Corp.)

Richmond, VA

Billy has been an asset working through some subcontracting issues. He has also helped revise our subcontract and train our people on ways to avoid problems. He has guided us through a couple of lien/collection issues. We had never been exposed to any lien or collection issues before and Billy educated us and guided us through the process. His help educated us to avoid these types of problems in the future. Billy is a great lawyer and I'd recommend him to anyone who needs a great construction attorney.
