Oakdale, MN commercial litigation attorney Brandon Schwartz shares the story of a memorable construction litigation matter he handled. He recalls representing several notable companies, particularly in the construction industry, including an architectural millwork subcontractor. The firm became involved in an arbitration where the stakes were significant for his client, though for the general contractor, it was just another routine claim.
During mediation, the mediator predicted only a 10% chance of success, but he and his team decided to proceed. They took the case to arbitration and ultimately secured every dollar his client sought, including attorney’s fees. That victory proved critical—it kept the subcontractor in business and meant a great deal to the owner. While the general contractor viewed it as just another check to write, for his client, it was a substantial and rewarding win.
