About
Payne Hackenbracht & Sullivan is a law firm of experienced construction attorneys who all worked for the federal government before entering private practice. The firm is a boutique practice that focuses on matters before the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Naval Facilities Engineering Command, the U.S. Air Force, the Federal Aviation Administration, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the General Services Administration, and many other state and federal agencies that engage in construction contracting. The primary mission of the firm is to develop settlement and problem solving strategies, rather than to simply resort to litigation.
The members of the firm know government contract law. Michael Payne, Joseph Hackenbracht, and Timothy Sullivan have practiced government contract and construction law together for over twenty years. As their biographies demonstrate, their collective experience and knowledge about federal government contracting is considerable. The fact that they are friends and have worked together for so many years enables them to easily combine their collective knowledge and experience for the benefit of their clients. Cases are freely discussed during almost daily firm meetings and the opportunity to bounce new ideas off one another is of immeasurable value.
The firm utilizes a state-of-the-art computer network combined with a sophisticated document imaging system that enables the attorneys to access current and past client files anywhere in the world. All of the letters, legal research memoranda, pleadings and briefs drafted by the firm or received from others, in over twenty years of practice, are stored in a database. In addition, the firm maintains an informative website on federal government construction contracting. The firm prides itself on being the source of choice for information about federal construction contracting.
