As anyone who has practiced construction law for any period of time knows, Motions to Dismiss are a regular occurrence. These motions are made in an attempt to get a claim reviewed and rejected early in the process. Because these motions to dismiss can and do lead to the dismissal of what could have been properly proven claims, the initial complaint or, in Virginia, motion for judgment, has to be drafted with care.
