Hi - I have a mechanic's lien against my property of which I am planning to bond off.
Their attorney would then need to start the process against the bond.  Does that mean I can defend the Invalid Mechanic's Lien (I am in default - totally blew it!) as the contractor didn't pull a permit for the dry rot eaves portion of the roof nor did he update the initial permit to include rafter work.
Also - I don't want to sign a release as if I have to pay, I want to sue in small claims court for 'work not performed' as the eaves were not changed out fully.

Invalid Mechanic's Lien - Surety Bond Process

We contracted a company to install solar panel system late last year.  The project was financed through loan and company was paid in full when panel system was installed, but not fully functioning yet.  I learned the company laid off all employees and closed their business down on 11/24/2020.  I filed complaint with CSLB and found all assets of the company have been sold off by investors after the company defaulted on loans.  There are no funds available to pay off liens or subcontractors. 

One of the subcontractor filed mechanic's lien and I just received SUMMONS from Superior Court.  I need help to either negotiate settlement with their attorney or process of the court procedure.

I have paid the project in full, and is now paying for the loan monthly.  Would I be required to pay for the project twice because contractor did not pay the subcontractor?

homeowner needs advice on mechanic's lien from subcontractor

The general contractor and homeowner entered an agreement to remodel a house on a time and materials basis with a cost range built into the contract.  The contractor exceeded the upper end of the range, performed shoddy work, did not complete the project yet presented an invoice which the homeowner did not pay.  Does the contractor have grounds to record a mechanic's lien?

Can a general contractor record a mechanic's lien on a time and materials contract where there was a cap on costs?

I have a customer that has a job that has multiple locations, but it&#39;s all the same job. Do I have to file pre-liens for each job location, (which I have to find the locations of), or can I just pre-lien the job itself? A blanket pre lien. Thank you!

Preliminary Notice

How do I file a pre-lien for a job with multiple locations?

Hi, 
I need help with understanding if I am still eligible to file a mechanical lien?

We are a Home Restoration company and we provide:
Water mitigation
Mold remdeation
Pack-out and storage services.

The water mitigation, the mold remedeation and packout have been completed.

However, storage isn't complete as his items are still with us and a pack back (moving back his items when he is ready after repairs have been completed) haven't been completed yet. 

Are we still within our 90 days as we have yet to complete the storage and the pack back portion?  the date of the contract is 9/8/2020.

Thank you and I look to hear from you soon.
