If you decide you will benefit by retaining a lawyer, there are a number of ways to do so.
Most contractors find a lawyer through colleagues in the construction business.
If you seek a personal referral, remember that most lawyers focus their practices on a few areas of the law. As important, find a lawyer with expertise in your trade. They will know how to handle these issues and all about the specifications, plans, and construction documents used in the concrete trade. If you cannot find a lawyer through a personal referral, try a local bar association referral service. Some lawyer referral services have panels of lawyers who concentrate in certain fields of practice.
