​

Arizona Lien Laws

​

Arizona’s lien laws are a critical tool for contractors, suppliers, and design professionals to secure payment for work performed or materials furnished. To be effective, lien rights must be exercised correctly—including timely service of a Preliminary 20-Day Notice and strict compliance with recording and foreclosure deadlines. Whether you're filing a lien or defending against one, our firm ensures your interests are protected under A.R.S. § 33-981 et seq.

​

Purchaser Dwelling Act (PDA)

​

The Arizona Purchaser Dwelling Act (A.R.S. § 12-1361 et seq.) governs construction defect claims for residential properties. Before filing a lawsuit, homeowners must follow a mandatory pre-litigation process that includes providing written notice of alleged defects and allowing contractors an opportunity to inspect and offer to repair. Our team advises both contractors and homeowners through this timeline-sensitive process, ensuring compliance while preserving legal rights.

Registrar of Contractors (ROC) Disputes

​

The Arizona Registrar of Contractors plays a central role in licensing and dispute resolution in the construction industry. If a complaint is filed, the ROC will investigate and may hold a hearing that could affect your license. We represent clients in ROC administrative hearings, license challenges, and compliance matters—helping to resolve disputes efficiently and protect your standing in the industry.
