Selma Demirovic-Portesan

Selma’s practice focuses on construction law. She has experience assisting with construction defect claims, contract and scope‑of‑work disputes, and mechanic’s liens. Selma also supports clients through pre‑litigation strategy, claim evaluation, and dispute resolution. Selma is bilingual, and fluent in English and Bosnian.

Prior to joining the firm, Selma’s experience includes personal injury, workers’ compensation, estate planning, and transactional work. This broad background allows her to bring a practical, well‑rounded perspective to construction disputes and to understand how litigation strategy intersects with business objectives and risk management.

In her free time, Selma enjoys reading memoirs, cultivating orchids, and people‑watching on dog‑friendly patios with her husband, John, and their pug, Romeo.
