When construction projects face legal challenges, experience matters. John Caravella, Esq., of The Law Offices of John Caravella, P.C., brings a rare combination of architectural knowledge and legal expertise to clients throughout New York and Florida. His practice focuses exclusively on construction law, helping contractors, property owners, and design professionals protect their rights, resolve disputes, and achieve successful project outcomes.
A Unique Combination of Architecture and Law
Unlike most attorneys, John Caravella began his professional journey in architecture. He earned his Bachelor of Architecture from the New York Institute of Technology, where he gained a deep understanding of project design, construction processes, and industry standards.
He later earned his Juris Doctor from Nova Southeastern University, where he concentrated in construction and commercial law. This dual background allows him to see both sides of every issue — the legal details and the practical realities of construction work.
Today, John uses this experience to guide clients through every phase of their projects, from contract drafting and negotiation to litigation and dispute resolution.
