An Austin, TX, Construction Defect Lawyer Fighting for the Underdog
“I want to be the champion on the right side of the dispute.”
There aren’t many attorneys who take construction defect cases because it requires an advanced knowledge of complex regulations, industry standards, and applicable laws. Dave Wenholz takes these cases and succeeds on behalf of homeowners and businesspeople in difficult situations caused by the negligence of builders.

From class-action lawsuits to single-plaintiff action, Austin construction defects lawyer Dave Wenholz is on the front lines in the fight against this common and highly consequential negligence.

Dave Wenholz knows how disruptive it can be to suddenly have a major crack in your foundation, with workers suddenly coming in and out of your home all day to address the issue. He believes people in this position deserve justice, but understands that it's rarely an easy fight.

He started as a construction defect lawyer early in his career at a Dallas firm. “We had a case involving a petrochemical plant and one of the 10 largest construction companies. My job was to gather evidence, and that even involved being on shrimp boats, interviewing the people involved. I realized I liked learning about construction, the right way to do it, and identifying when things are done the wrong way.”

Dave Wenholz has handled many cases like this and is prepared to hold insurance companies to their word. Texas grants a two-year statute of limitation on these cases, so be sure and contact Mr. Wenholz as soon as possible if you believe your insurer is wrongfully denying a property damage claim.
Swimming Pool Defects
We’re experiencing a problem in Austin—hundreds of pools have a condition called “concrete cancer.” In simple terms, this is a deterioration of concrete due to exposure to metal reinforcement that hasn't been properly coated. The only way to fix it is to dig up the pool and completely rebuild it, which is an incredibly costly and time-intensive solution. Proper construction can prevent this all-too-common issue. Mr. Wenholz is helping many clients take class action against builders who failed to take preventive measures against concrete cancer. He can help you do the same.
Texas grants two years from the date of denial to file an insurance bad faith claim. Reach out as soon as possible if you believe your claim was wrongfully denied.
