Joseph Straus

Joe Straus started practicing construction law in 1982, when he did not know the difference between a BOMAG roller and a boring log. In the years since, he has learned from his clients, their folks in the field and nationally renowned experts, and can now expound at length to a jury or a tribunal on topics ranging from how methane gas is drawn from landfill waste to generate electricity; to the inherent properties of concrete slabs to transmit moisture; to how the omission of one event on a critical path schedule can destroy the entire schedule’s logic. Joe’s depth of knowledge reflects his passion for learning his clients’ unique businesses in order to resolve their disputes in the most effective and efficient way possible.
