“While we are known throughout the mid-Atlantic region for our construction law services, the firm represents clients nationally as well as regionally. Over the past ten years, our firm has quadrupled in size, and we plan to continue expanding. Our state of the art office facilities at United Plaza will accommodate our plans for the future,” Mr. Greenhall also said.
