Unresolved change orders in Leesburg, VA?
Construction projects rarely go exactly as planned.
When the scope of work shifts—whether due to design updates, site conditions, or client requests—it’s critical to document and agree on changes.
If you perform extra work without proper authorization or can’t collect additional payment, you face unexpected costs and conflicts.
I’m Anthony Shin, and in Leesburg, VA, I help contractors, owners, and subcontractors resolve change order disputes so everyone gets what they bargained for.
Why Change Orders Matter
- Unauthorized Work
If you proceed without a signed change order, you risk performing additional work without compensation. - Additional Costs
Materials, labor, and delays can add up—only a clear change order locks in who is responsible for payment. - Unmet Expectations
Without defined deliverables, you and your client may disagree on what “completed” really means.
How I Help You Win Your Claim
- Review Your Contracts
I examine the original agreement, any notice requirements, and past correspondence to see where the change order process broke down. - Gather Documentation
We collect emails, field reports, proposals, and invoices that show the extra work, costs incurred, and attempts to get approval. - Issue a Demand or Defense
If you need payment, I will draft a demand letter outlining your legal right to compensation. If you’re defending against an overbroad claim, I challenge unauthorized work with a precise contract analysis. - Negotiate or Mediate
Often, a mediated solution saves time and money. I represent your interests at the table to reach a fair settlement. - Litigate When Necessary
When negotiations stall, I file suit in Loudoun County court to enforce payment or defend your position, leveraging expert testimony if needed.
Local Expertise, Practical Results
Leesburg projects run on tight budgets and timelines.
I am familiar with the local standards for change order management and the courts that handle these disputes.
Whether you’re owed thousands or facing a large back-charge claim, I push for clarity, fairness, and the best possible outcome.
