Aldous Faraday
Partner, contractor and trade licenses
Aldous defends contractors, trades and real-estate licensees, and starts every file from the contract and the permits.
Aldous paid for college by framing houses, and he still reads a set of plans before he reads a complaint. He has represented contractors, electricians, plumbers and real-estate agents before their boards, and he tells clients early which part of a file is a licensing question and which is just a fight over money.
He keeps an eye on the unglamorous reasons renewals stall: a lapsed bond, an old judgment, a certificate of insurance dated the wrong month.

Working with Aldous
Aldous asks for the paper first: the contract, the permits, the change orders, the photos and the texts. He builds a timeline of the job, and a plain list of what the board can and can't decide.
Most trade files turn on whether the work and the license matched. If they didn't, he talks you through the options early, while there's still room to choose.
He restores old tractors and will talk about them if you let him.

A call doesn't make us your lawyers; a signed engagement letter does. The fees page lists what each stage costs.
