We file mechanic's liens for contractors and evictions for landlords in Colorado. Both on a flat fee, with the price shown up front. We also handle the contracts, payment disputes, and other legal work that comes with running your business.
Lien Practice Eviction PracticeMechanic's liens and evictions fail the same way. A step gets skipped. A deadline gets missed. A strong claim turns into a lost one. We handle both on a flat fee. The price is shown up front. A lawyer handles your case, not a paralegal.
We handle your eviction from start to finish for one flat fee. $995 for a standard case. The flat fee covers our legal work. Court filing and process server fees are extra (billed at cost).
We file your mechanic's lien on a flat fee. For contractors, subs, and suppliers. From the first notice to the recorded lien, usually in 12 to 14 days.
Pick your state. Enter the last day you worked. We will show your lien filing deadline and flag any notice you have to send first. Works for contractors, subs, suppliers, and laborers in all 50 states. Free. No sign-up.
Construction companies deal with legal risk every day. Contracts. Change orders. Pay apps. Sub disputes. Close-out. Most small companies do not have a lawyer on staff. The ones that do often have a lawyer who does not understand the job.
We do. We speak the language. We know your margins. We know what it costs when a dispute goes sideways. We work as your general counsel — like in-house, but only when you need us. We can advise your company on legal questions in any state, not just where we are licensed to go to court.

Colorado lien deadlines are short. Miss one and your rights are gone. Original contractors have 4 months. Subs and suppliers have 2 months. We confirm your deadline, send the Notice of Intent, and record the Lien Statement — on a flat fee. We can also help you collect.
See the lien practice →Eviction representation for Colorado landlords on a flat fee. From the first notice to the writ that gets the tenant out. Most cases that are not contested take 14 to 28 days. If your tenant fights back, we switch to hourly and credit what you paid.

We can help your company build internal systems for contract management, obligation tracking, deadline alerts, and workflow automation. Not as a technology project — as a business improvement project with a legal foundation. If your team is spending hours on tasks that AI can handle in minutes, we can show you how to close that gap.
The companies that win disputes are the ones whose project managers built the right record months before the dispute started. That is an operations discipline, not a legal one.
We provide training for estimators, project managers, and operations teams on how to read contracts, identify risk provisions, price scope gaps, and document correctly. For smaller companies without in-house counsel, this raises the floor for the entire organization. Your people learn to account for legal risk the way they account for labor and materials — as a line item, not a surprise.
GC Counsel works in close partnership with Simply Spreadsheets, a financial modeling and analysis firm built specifically for small-to-mid-size businesses. Legal strategy and financial analysis regularly need to speak the same language — and on complex matters, having both capabilities coordinated from the start makes a real difference.
Whether a dispute turns on a damages calculation, a reconciliation runs into thousands of line items, or a company needs to build internal financial reporting to support growth or evaluate performance, Simply Spreadsheets brings the analytical infrastructure to match the legal work.
Visit Simply Spreadsheets“Running a small financial firm means contracts, client agreements, and the occasional difficult situation — and I had no idea what I was actually signing half the time. Joe changed that. He doesn’t just mark up a document and send it back; he explains what it means for the business and tells me what I should actually care about. Our engagement agreements are tighter, I understand my exposure, and when something comes up I know exactly who to call. Having real legal counsel in your corner — not a form letter, not a chatbot — makes a real operational difference.”
Happy customer at a small business
Most contractors don't lose money because they did bad work. They lose it because nobody told them what the contract actually said — or they waited too long once things went wrong.— GC Counsel PLLC
Prime contract review, owner disputes, subcontract management, and risk allocation from pursuit through close-out. We are the GC's GC.
Pass-through liability, lien rights, back-charge defense, and payment enforcement against GCs who use slow-pay as a negotiating tactic.
Contract structure, construction manager agreements, design-build risk, and dispute resolution when your project goes off the rails.
Most small companies run without a lawyer. They get away with it — until they do not. Big disputes do not come with a warning. Neither do missed lien deadlines, bad contracts, or payment fights that turn into lawsuits. The company you built from nothing deserves real legal protection before the crisis hits. Not a lawyer playing catch-up after. Every contractor deserves a goliath in their corner. We are built lean — no fancy downtown office, no partners charging four figures an hour. That is how we charge prices that make sense for serious contractors.
Most of our work is on a flat fee. You know what it costs before you say yes. No clock running while we think. No surprise invoices. We do not have a fancy office or layers of staff to support, so we can charge what the work is actually worth.
We train your team and give you templates so your people can handle most routine legal work in-house. The goal is a business that runs well because your people know how to protect it — not because they call a lawyer every week.
Doing it yourself does not mean you are alone. Big disputes, tough decisions, and one-off questions are what we are here for. The difference: you call when it counts, and you already know what is going on.
The first call is free. Tell us what you are working on and we will tell you where the risks are.
