We Are by Your Side in Construction Projects
Construction law encompasses a wide range of legal issues in the building industry. It requires interactions with many professionals and public or private entities, such as financial institutions, contractors and subcontractors, surety companies, architects, engineers, surveyors, property owners, and insurance companies. A construction lawyer must be well versed in many different types of law, as construction cases can be very complex. At Worman & Sheffler, P. A., we have the legal experience to navigate tough construction challenges while maintaining the interests and integrity of our clients.

We represent Contractors, Subcontractors, Materials Suppliers, Architects, and Engineers in all areas of the construction industry throughout the state of Florida.
