Making New Law to Assist and Empower the Construction Industry
CLG has helped write new law to protect those in the construction industry. For example, as a result of Ms. Carno’s representation of an unpaid contractor in the matter entitled Force Framing Inc. v. Chinatrust Bank, 187 Cal. App. 4th 1368 (2010), the California Appellate Court ruled that “if a laborer or materialman has reasonably relied on an owner's and/or general contractor's statements identifying a lender, then the laborer or materialman does not need to check county records to prove that he had a good faith belief that the lender was the actual lender.”
Ms. Carno argued on behalf of yet another unpaid contractor and its surety in the case entitled Mepco v. Saddleback Valley Unified School District (2010) 189 Cal.App.4th 1027. The Mepco case now serves as precedent when analyzing how an unpaid contractor on a public works project can recover its attorneys’ fees.
Carno Law Group is proud of its hard earned reputation as an aggressive civil litigation firm. Its mission of excellence, supported by the dedication and skill of its attorneys and staff, combined with its commitments to superior client service, makes it a leader in its profession.
