Lien Enforcement Dispute Lawyers

Filing, Releasing & Enforcing Mechanics’ Liens

One of the most common disputes in construction projects involves the nonpayment of obligations to a contractor or subcontractor, which may lead to a construction claim. These disputes often result in a mechanics' lien being placed on the title to a property.

Mechanics' liens serve as a tool for enforcing payment through such methods as stop notices. They are filed when work needs to be done. If payment is complete, the lien is released and removed from the property's title. If payment is not made, the lienholder can foreclose on a property to obtain payment.
