OCHD Successfully Defends Builder Against Construction Defect Lawsuit

Milwaukee, Wis. (October 5, 2007) – A recent Ozaukee County jury trial resulted in a decision in favor of a client of O’Neil, Cannon, Hollman, DeJong S.C. The case involved a dispute between a homeowner and the builder of the home in which the homeowner sued the builder for alleged construction defects.

Attorney Steve Slawinski successfully defended the builder. The jury found in favor of the builder, resulting in no recovery for the homeowner. The trial court then granted the builder’s motion to have the homeowner pay the builder’s attorney fees, according to the terms of the contract between the two parties.

O’Neil, Cannon, Hollman, DeJong S.C. is a full-service legal practice focusing on business law, estate planning, and major complex litigation with offices in Milwaukee, Port Washington, and Sheboygan. The firm was established in 1973 and is now listed as one of the Milwaukee-area’s largest law firms.
