You wont be able to approach the clerk directly to contest the lien. If you believe the amount is inflated, generally the only avenue is to raise this dispute
within the context of a lien foreclosure action initiated by the sub. You can either wait for them to start the case, or serve a "demand to foreclose."
You could also try writing a demand letter to the sub demanding that they withdraw the lien; or amend it to reduce the amount. See More...

Agree with the prior commenter. You should try to encourage the subcontractor to sue the GC for breach of contract, among other possible claims including
diversion of trust funds under Lien Law 3-A.

Was this as residential or commercial project? If residential, you are probably too late. If commercial, you may still have a couple of weeks. Please contact

The subcontractor should not be able to lien for work not actually performed. Whether they go ahead and do it is another matter - in which case you'll have
to work to get the lien removed.

Assuming your company filed the lien, you'll need an attorney to commence a foreclosure action in court, because corporate entities cannot appear in court
without counsel. Also, from a practical perspective, lien foreclosure litigation is very technical, so working with counsel is preferable in any event.
