Overview
Constantine takes an aggressive approach to advocacy, both in and out of the courtroom, while always remaining mindful of his client’s unique goals. He fully understands that there is no “one-size fits all” approach to litigation. His diverse experience spanning all facets of construction, real estate and commercial contract litigation and transactional work proves to be invaluable to his clients.
As a member of the firm’s Construction and Real Estate Service Groups, Constantine represents contractors, sub-contractors and design professionals, as well as property management companies, real estate developers and commercial tenants and landlords located in the heart of the Chicago Loop and throughout the Chicagoland area. He handles a wide variety of matters involving: breaches of contract, construction defects, tort and personal injury defense, municipal code compliance, commercial landlord-tenant disputes, common interest communities and condominium associations.
Constantine always dedicates the same amount of attention, passion and resources to every single one of his cases, no matter the size or claim. His in-depth attention, high energy and legal prowess lead to the best possible outcome whether via judgment at trial, favorable settlements or successful negotiations. Constantine takes particular pride in his trial practice – where he has successfully tried or arbitrated upwards of fifty cases in circuit court, alternative dispute forums (such as the American Arbitration Association), and various municipal administrative hearing departments in the last five years alone. In addition to handling cases from start to finish, Constantine also frequently engages in “crisis litigation” work, where he is often retained to secure not only money judgments, but “equitable relief” such as restraining orders or injunctions on an emergency basis. His wide range of transactional and litigation experience make him a full service lawyer for clients looking to secure favorable contract or lease terms, or for those who have already found themselves facing legal action.
