Dunn & Phillips, P.C.

Civil Litigation

Real estate, construction, business, and employment disputes for individuals and companies across Western Massachusetts, with an honest read on whether a fight is worth having.

What we handle

  • Real estate and property disputes: boundaries, title, easements, and purchase-and-sale disputes
  • Construction disputes: defects, unfinished work, and payment or lien disputes between owners and contractors
  • Business disputes, B2B and B2C, including partnership and ownership disputes
  • Contract disputes: breached agreements, unpaid services, or undelivered goods
  • Employment matters: wage disputes, wrongful termination, and discrimination
  • Collections and unpaid accounts
  • General civil claims

A deal you signed fell apart. A contractor took your deposit and disappeared, or left the job half-finished. A business partner walked away from what you agreed to. A paycheck came up short, or a job ended in a way that wasn’t right. A property line or a title is suddenly in question. These are the matters we litigate, many of them growing out of the same real estate, construction, and business work the firm handles every day. We start by giving you a straight read: whether this is worth fighting, worth settling, or worth walking away from. And when we do take it on, we prepare every case as if it will be tried, which is what gives a settlement its weight.

The earlier we are involved, the more options you have. Some issues can become worse as time goes on. In some cases, an attorney may be able to guide you on how to avoid a dispute.

Every kind of civil claim comes with a filing deadline, and some are short. Many contracts shorten them further. The earlier we look at your situation, the more options you have.
