JAMES M. BRIGHT - Located in Houston, Texas. Serving Harris/Montgomery and surrounding counties with quality legal representation in the areas of business law, business litigation and other select areas of civil litigation.
No business seems to attract controversy more than the construction industry. Litigation may involve contracts or defects, but a large percentage of construction litigation involves the filing or defense of Mechanic/ Materialman liens. These liens fall into three main categories: 1. Private jobs controlled by V.T.C.A., Property Code -Chapter 53. 2. Public jobs controlled by the McGregor Act. 3. Federal jobs which are controlled by the Miller Act.  This firm, while having experience with both the McGregor Act and Miller Act, has concentrated more of it's of time and attention to private jobs. Enforceability of liens and indeed even the validity of those liens requires special attention to the classification of the claimant as an owner, original contractor or sub-contractor/materialman.
