Don't be afraid to ask a potential construction law expert about their credentials and education. As volatile as the construction field can be, you need a lawyer whose credentials are rock solid, so they can guide you effectively if something should go wrong.

You shouldn't hire the first construction law specialist you interview, at least not right away. Interview and quiz several, so that you can get an idea of the range of experience and prices that you're faced with. Then hire the best one you can afford.

You don't have to be a lawyer to education yourself on construction law. While it may be hard to find basic courses at the local community college, avail yourself of the Internet, where you can often find advertisements and course materials for construction law courses held in your local area.
