Why Martinez Law
We define the goal, the path, and the timeline. You get a simple plan with dates, filings, and ownership.
Scopes, change orders, pay applications, retainage, and schedules. Our filings reflect how jobs run in the real world.
Clean records and fast motions create options. We build momentum with liens, affidavits, and targeted relief.
Brief updates, organized folders, and clear next steps so you always know where we stand.
We work with the Illinois Mechanics Lien Act and organize exhibits around scope, schedules, and pay applications to match how work actually progressed.
Construction
Breach claims, scope gaps, and extras. We align the paperwork with site reality and drive toward a practical resolution.
Notice, recording, foreclosure, and bond substitution. We protect payment rights and use liens as leverage to resolve disputes.
Workmanship, scheduling impacts, and liquidated damages. We document facts and keep the case moving.
We seek TROs and preliminary injunctions when the elements are met: a clear right, irreparable harm, no adequate remedy at law, and a likelihood of success. We move fast and keep the record specific.

Rapid evaluation, evidence, and filings to protect assets and enforce agreements while the case proceeds.
Misconduct, freeze outs, and books and records. We secure information and stabilize operations.
Noncompete, nonsolicit, and confidentiality. We protect customers, employees, and data when timing is critical.

Outcomes
