Greetings. You appear to want to know how to get your deposited money back from an expired substituted-lien. To get money back from an expired
substituted-lien, the depositor must obtain an Order of Surrender to the Clerk from any court having jurisdiction over the parties. To get that Order, a petition
with the court must be filed. Please be mindful that while the depositor will get the money back, he will wake up the recalcitrant lien holder, who See More...

Greetings. It appears you would like to file a mechanic's lien in New York on a New York project. There are many types of lien forms that one can find on the

Greetings. It appears you would like to know whether you can proceed pro se with a lien you had filed. Proceeding pro se in a lien matter, indeed any matter,

Greetings. You appear to want to know why a bill of quantities would not be optional in certain contracts. In New York, a BOQ may not be optional because
you are at the bidding stage and the BOQ may be required for the developer or other purchaser of your services to determine who to award the project. If
you are beyond the bidding stage and are at the contract stage, then the BOQ fixes the prices under the contract (if a fixed or firm BOQ rather thSee More...

common elements once a condominium declaration has been filed. The lien may only be filed against the units. Work done on the common elements
however may still be collected from the common charges as trust funds held for payment. The bankruptcy of a general contractor should not preSee More...
