    Ms. Ostrovsky has successfully represented the rights of clients in complex construction disputes in state and federal courts involving lien claims, delay and inefficiency claims, constructive change claims, surety bond claims and defense, construction defect claims, bid protests, and claims of professional negligence against architects and engineers.

In addition, she authored the brief in Star of the Sea Concrete Corp. v.
