Managing Partner at Prosperous Law GroupLegal Guard LawyerThe quickest way is to contact any of the construction attorneys in this group to draft the lawsuit and file it by the deadline in order to preserve your rights to

the liened party can go to court and obtain an order to have your lien removed and charge you for the costs of removing it.

the project and 2) acted reasonably and in good faith to maintain proper licensure, and (3) acted promptly and in good faith to remedy the failure.See More...
