There are several concerns when engaged in residential or commercial construction.  Parties often prioritize completing a project on time and within budget.  This emphasis can often become harrowing, resulting in such claims as regulatory or licensing non-compliance by contractors, allegations against local governments (municipalities and zoning boards), violations of the Consumer Fraud Act, construction contract breaches, claims relating to defective goods and materials used in such construction or other allegations.  Mr Garjian became familiarized with the most talented architects, engineers, contractors, and sub-contractors in their particular arenas and has resources with whom to collaborate.

There are many reasons for family members or close friends to file for guardianship.  Some children have developmental disabilities, which are a group of conditions due to an impairment in physical, learning, language, or behavior areas. These conditions begin during the developmental period, may impact day-to-day functioning, and usually last throughout a persons lifetime.

Adults may wind up developing conditions which prevent them from being able to manage their affairs, care for themselves, or continue to live independently. Depending on the type of disability, whether neurological, cognitive, or another form of disability, it is usually necessary for someone, be it family or close friends, to seek approval for the person to have a guardian. The guardian will protect the person and his/her property, and otherwise manage the health and affairs of the disabled in the best interests of such person. We have experience representing allegedly incapacitated persons (“AIP’s”), acting as Guardian, Guardian ad Litem, and Court Evaluators (to be the eyes and ears of the Court).
