Qualifications
Construction law partners Nicholas D. Cowie, Stanford Kimmel and George Bealefeld are experienced construction law attorneys, handling construction legal issues and resolving construction disputes. The firm’s Associates are also well versed in construction with substantial experience handling construction litigation claims and construction arbitration proceedings as well as the negotiation and preparation of construction contracts that protect the interests of our clients should disputes arise with payment or performance obligations arising out of a building construction project. Our firm is especially well-known for handling complex construction defect cases and structural warranty claims against developers, declarants and builders of defectively constructed and designed condominium projects, condominium conversions, multipurpose projects and other buildings and structures.
Nicholas D. Cowie established the “Construction Law” course at the University of Baltimore School of Law where he served as the adjunct professor of construction law. Most construction disputes we handle are resolved through mediation, without the need for drawn out litigation or trial. However, should trial become necessary, the Maryland construction lawyers at Cowie Law Group have the experience to handle your construction case. Mr. Cowie served as trial counsel in the case Milton Co. vs. Bentley Place Condominium in which a jury awarded $6.6 million against a builder for construction defects in addition to an award of $500,000 in attorneys fees. More recently, our firm, including trial attorneys Stanford Kimmel and George Bealefeld, obtained a $5.6 million jury award in a construction defect case against a national builder.

Recommendations & Reviews
Below is a review by one of our clients critiquing our firm’s litigation skills in handling a protracted and disputed construction arbitration proceeding before the American Arbitration Association. The review is written by one of our building construction clients who became involved involved in a payment / performance dispute with a nationwide retailer involving excavation contracting work performed at several commercial construction projects in the Virginia / Washington DC / Maryland region. The case involved a payment bond and multiple claims regarding change orders and back charges:
I am writing this email in response to the experience I have had over the past couple of months with my case and the representation by [Cowie Law Group] attorney’s ….
I never have had such a great experience with this whole process. I never would take the time to write a response like this, but I feel that it is required.
The 3 weeks we spent in the arbitrator’s office was a learning experience. I was always told what a good attorney that [the opposing party] has and I have to say, [Cowie Law Group’s attorneys] were much more prepared and much better attorneys. I would have fired the attorneys [for the opposing party] after the first day, as [Cowie Law Group’s attorneys] made them look totally incompetent.
…. I was very impressed and still cannot believe how silly they made the opposing attorneys look. Your attorneys were very well prepared and probably knew the case better than myself. I think that the most rewarding part of what I witnessed with your attorneys is the way they had every response from the opposing witness completely covered and placed so much doubt in their responses on cross with documentation. They made every witness show a lack of credibility. Your attorneys were in fact much more experienced and better understand the law then the [opposing] attorneys.
I could go on and on, but a great job needs to be acknowledged and your attorneys were the best I have ever been associated with and what a great team effort as they supported each other during the entire process. Their strategy and professionalism far exceeds anything I have ever been associated with.
Job well done ….
