The Firm represented its client earth work contractor against a public water district in Northern California, in a claim for extra earth work quantities required by the owner’s direction to excavate deeper than indicated on the plans. The client’s field personnel did not clearly document the direction or extra quantities. Working with the client, the Firm was able to calculate and graphically demonstrate the extra work based on post completion borings. The Firm obtained a favorable settlement at mediation, without having to file any litigation.
