Core Areas of Legal Expertise

Standard of Care for Home Inspectors

If another inspector’s conduct is questioned, I evaluate their process and report against established InterNACHI, ASHI, and state professional standards. I determine if they met their legal obligation to identify and report visible defects.

Construction Defect Analysis

I identify alleged construction defects, determine deviations from building codes and industry standards, and pinpoint the root cause of failures (such as improper flashing or faulty mechanical installations).

Seller Disclosure Disputes

I investigate post-purchase defect discoveries (like foundation failure or water intrusion) to assess if the issues existed at the time of sale and whether they should have been reasonably apparent or disclosed.

Real Estate Agent Negligence

A home inspection is only as good as how the information is interpreted. I assist legal teams in determining if a real estate agent acted in good faith, worked in their client’s best interest, and provided guidance consistent with competent industry practices.

Damage Assessments & Cost-to-Cure

I provide well-supported, realistic remediation estimates for necessary repairs following property damage, plumbing failures, or structural compromises.

Landlord-Tenant & Habitability Disputes

I conduct on-site and remote assessments of rental properties to determine safety, code compliance, and overall habitability for both property owners and tenants.

Report Review & Rebuttal

I meticulously dissect opposing expert reports and inspection documents to highlight inconsistencies, validate findings, and identify critical areas of concern relevant to your legal strategy.
