How to deal with a bogus mechanics lein filed on my property
It's going to depend on a whole lot of variables but if you get me a copy of the lien I can advise you as to your best course of action.

How do I/Can I fight a mechanics lien?

Yes, if a lien is filed, you can fight it. Under Missouri law, the contractor should have provided a contract with the following in 10-point bold font:

NOTICE TO OWNER

FAILURE OF THIS CONTRACTOR TO PAY THOSE PERSONS SUPPLYING MATERIAL OR SERVICES TO COMPLETE THIS CONTRACT CAN RESULT IN THE FILING OF A MECHANIC'S LIEN ON THE PROPERTY WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF THIS CONTRACT PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 429, RSMO. TO AVOID THIS RESULT YOU MAY ASK THIS CONTRACTOR FOR "LIEN WAIVERS" FROM ALL PERSONS SUPPLYING MATERIAL OR SERVICES FOR THE WORK DESCRIBED IN THIS CONTRACT. FAILURE TO SECURE LIEN WAIVERS MAY RESULT IN YOUR PAYING FOR LABOR AND MATERIAL TWICE.

Compliance with that requirement "shall be a condition precedent to the creation, existence or validity of any mechanic's lien in favor of such original contractor. "

If enough money is at issue, considering paying an attorney to write a stern letter to the contractor advising that the filing of a mechanic's lien would be frivilous and constitute "slander of title."
