Aimee also maintains a construction practice. Having “grown up” working with and around family and friends in the construction industry, she brings a unique and practical perspective and understanding to each construction matter she handles. Aimee regularly works with clients to negotiate and revise commercial construction contracts and to address lien claims and related payment issues, and she has represented plaintiffs and defendants in construction defect cases.
