Wolfe Law Group has formed a new practice group to respond to concerns surrounding the use of Chinese Drywall in Louisiana construction projects. The firm offers services to developers, contractors, suppliers and other participants in the construction industry who are facing warranty claims, lawsuits, and other legal and business questions derived from the use of imported drywall.
New Orleans, Louisiana (PRWEB) March 24, 2009 – In response to the growing concerns of developers, builders, suppliers and other construction professionals, Wolfe Law Group announced a new practice group to address the imported drywall crisis.
Chinese Drywall imported into the United States between 2001 and 2008 may be contaminated with sulfuric acid, and the issue is causing legal problems across the country. In Louisiana, some reports estimate that more than 6,000 post-Katrina homes were built with the material.
Many lawsuits, including class action suits, have already been filed against builders, developers, suppliers and other participants in construction projects that involved the use of Chinese Drywall. The plaintiffs in these suits allege that the drywall is defective, is responsible for damages to building elements, and the cause of health problems.
Wolfe Law Group is prepared to represent and advise construction industry participants implicated in litigation, facing warranty claims, or simply encountering legal uncertainties related to the use of Chinese Drywall. Speaking about the new practice area, founding member of the firm, Scott Wolfe Jr, commented as follows:
For construction companies and suppliers who have encountered Chinese Drywall, it’s only a matter of time before a complaint affects their business. With so much at stake, and huge class action lawsuits being filed, companies should be examining their exposure and mitigating their losses. Our new practice area is specifically geared to help contractors and suppliers accomplish this.
Following the news of Chinese Drywall problems in Louisiana, the law firm quickly made itself a valuable resource on the topic for the construction industry. It launched a new blog (www.ChineseDrywallBlog.com), published a Chinese Drywall How-To Legal Guide on Avvo.com, and set up a Chinese Drywall practice group (www.ChineseDrywallDefense.com).
The practice area fits perfectly with the boutique law firm’s existing practice. Wolfe Law Group focuses its law practice on the construction industry, representing suppliers, contractors, and construction professionals of all shapes and sizes in legal matters that affect their business. It has offices in New Orleans, Louisiana and Seattle, Washington.

In recent weeks, the Chinese Drywall contamination problem has dominated residential construction news in Florida and Louisiana. Consumer groups like America’s Watchdog warn that the problem is likely far more widespread than that, including other countries and 12 other U.S. states (including Washington).
In response to the controversy, Wolfe Law Group has taken immediate steps to help its clients, readers and colleagues in the construction industry.
The firm announced that its practice will expand to include Chinese Drywall defense and consulting. The new “practice area” has been added to its website WolfeLaw.com, and the firm even set up a domain for the practice area: http://www.chinesedrywalldefense.com.
Wolfe Law Group has also dedicated substantial time and resource on its construction law blog, the Construction Law Monitor, to help educate readers about the Chinese Drywall problem, and how construction businesses are effected. The Chinese Drywall blog entries can be found through the tag “Chinese Drywall,” or directly queried by visiting the domain: http://www.chinesedrywallblog.com.
Today, Scott Wolfe Jr., the firm’s founding member adds to the available Chinese Drywall resources by publishing a how-to legal guide on the lawyer ratings website: Avvo.com. The new legal guide is titled, “What To Do If You Installed or Supplied Chinese Drywall,” and provides readers with a step-by-step guide of the matters they should consider if they were involved with Chinese Drywall.
The step-by-step guide provides that affected businesses should:

NEW ORLEANS, LA (WolfeLaw.Com) February 6, 2009 — Today, Wolfe Law Group is excited to announce the launch of its new blog, the Construction Law Monitor.
Published through the LexBlog platform, the new blog will commentate and provide insight on construction law issues in Washington and Louisiana.
Wolfe Law Group is a construction law practice with offices in New Orleans, LA and Seattle, WA. The firm first began blogging in early 2006, and has since published over 100 blog posts about construction law and the legal issues facing the construction industry.
Although on a new platform and featuring a new user-friendly design, posts and articles from the old blog are still accessible in the new site’s archives.
Scott Wolfe, the firm’s found member, commented on the new page:
“From day one, Wolfe Law Group has tried to present to our clients and the public free useful information about construction law. This new blog allows us to deliver that information through a better design and format, and with LexBlog’s powerful blogging engine.”

“This firm has always been ahead of the technology curve,” says Doug Reiser, member of Wolfe Law Group. “And to stay that way, we’re required to change as fast as the technology.

Deciding on an attorney to represent your company is a difficult and important choice. Unfortunately, organizations must often face this decision blind, without ever seeing that attorney in the courtroom or reading documents and arguments prepared by his or her office.
An online service from JD Supra aims at making law firms and attorneys more transparent, and Wolfe Law Group is pleased to announce its profile on JD Supra.
Our firm is so confident in our services that we’re happy to provide our clients, prospective clients and other attorneys with samples of our work. Each week, we’re posting new court documents to our JD Supra profile for anyone to download and view, along with important construction forms and articles about construction law issues.
Scott Wolfe, founding member of Wolfe Law Group, commented on the firm’s new online profile:
JDSupra’s service is really revolutionary. Most every court pleading is public record, yet until now the work of law firms has been kept behind closed doors. Businesses simply had to assume that their attorneys were adequately representing them. JD Supra brings some transparency to a very closed-in profession.
All documents posted to JDSupra is accessible by subscribing to the JD Supra RSS Feed, as well as at our JD Supra profile or our Facebook page. Not only will the firm be posting legal pleadings through the service, but we will also use JD Supra to host the many construction forms that we provide to clients at no charge on our firm’s Resource page and Construction Law Monitor blog.
