Construction & Business Law Are Our Passions
We take great care in making sure your goals are represented in everything we do for you. Whether we’re defending your case or pursuing a claim, we’re fighting for you.
“MY DAD WAS A CIVIL ENGINEER WHO WORKED IN CONSTRUCTION, SO I’VE BEEN AROUND IT MY WHOLE LIFE. WE TALK TO CONTRACTORS LIKE THEY’RE CONTRACTORS, NOT LIKE THEY’RE JUST ANOTHER LAW FIRM CLIENT” – PHIL
We use that same philosophy for any small business, whether you work in construction or not. We take law terminology out of the equation and focus on getting to know you and your business. It’s important to all of us—as an extension of your team—to keep the lines of communication open, figuring out what is going to work best for you and your business. We push hard for your interests in any contract, deal, or conflict.
We care about how you feel about what we’re doing for you, so we’re intentional in the way we go about all construction matters and legal issues surrounding your business. We take our clients’ matters personally.
Our Core Beliefs
Open communication and passion for what we do is the foundation of Truax Law Group, and all of our values are driven by that.
Trust
We do what we say we’re going to do. We make sure we’re always following up with you openly and honestly. And that sincerity extends to how we represent you in mediations, in court, and in deals, as well as how we use your budget – not spending without reason.
Clarity
We don’t make assumptions when it comes to your business. Rather than go off a comment made in passing, we seek to get a full picture of your company to fully understand your specific situation. We need to be clear – both in how we communicate, and how we understand what you’re telling us.
Reliability
We have your back. We don’t take our responsibilities lightly. And we don’t pass the buck. Our purpose is to help you, and we’re firm on keeping that promise.
Tenacity
We’re determined, persistent, and relentless. We do everything we can so you come out of any unfavorable situation ahead of the pack and content with the results.
Strategy
We’re rational in our approach to law. Our engagement with you is strategically tailored to fit your goals. Working with us is about getting you and your business to a good place. It’s not—and never will be—about us. It’s about you.
