Welcome to Flake Alternative Dispute Resolution. When disputes arise on a commercial construction project, legal action is not far behind.

In 2017, he joined the inaugural class of attorneys in Texas to be designated as Board Certified in Construction Law, by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.
