Cirilo Balderas
Partner · contracts and payment
Cirilo came to law from the field, and it shows in how he reads a contract: by the schedule, the crew and the money, in that order. He works mostly with subcontractors, suppliers and small general contractors who need a clear answer about a pay application or a retainage release.
Clients reach him in English or Spanish, and he writes the same plain letters in both.
Focus areas
- Subcontracts and purchase terms
- Retainage and pay applications

How Cirilo works with clients
He starts with the paper you already have and asks for the three dates that set your deadlines: first day, last day and last invoice.
Then he calls you, not the other side, to say what he would send first and what it would cost. Nothing goes out until you have said yes in writing.
Bring Cirilo the paper.
Send what you have and say who hired whom. We'll reply with what to do first.
