“As a Texas construction/manufacturer company, we have used Lovein Ribman as our exclusive council for construction pre-liens, liens, lawsuits, and a host of related legal matters. This team is well-versed in construction and corporate law and they have successfully helped our company to respond and resolve legal matters both on a proactive and reactive basis. They are confident, professional, timely, and easy to talk with -and they assist in making complex legal jargon easier to understand.”—Noltex Truss
