Becker’s New Jersey Litigation Team, led by James Mahon and Catelyn Stark, with support from Vincenzo Mogavero and Martin Cabalar, secured a six-figure victory against national homebuilder Toll Brothers, Inc. for construction defects.
The clients experienced construction defects in their new home located in the Reserve at Franklin Lakes, in Bergen County. Problems included pervasive issues with the first and second flooring. Various other structural issues were named in the complaint, including floor bracing and window placement.
Throughout the four-day hearing, Mr. Mahon and Ms. Stark presented testimony from multiple witnesses, including expert analyses on behalf of both parties. The arbitrator’s ruling attributes the defects to structural flaws, stemming from improper construction, leading to the full award of damages to the client.
Becker Shareholder and Chief Strategy Officer, Vincenzo Mogavero said, “Our team’s dedication to advocating for our client’s rights and holding accountable those responsible for construction defects has been validated by this arbitration victory. We are pleased with the outcome and will continue to strive for justice on behalf of homeowners affected by substandard construction.”
