A contractor has placed a lien on our property that my team feels is not due. The contractor failed to provide quality work . When mentioned to them they stated that it was not mentioned in the final walk through that never happened and refused to make corrections or adjustments to the balance. My team has had to hire new contractors to correct the contractors mistakes. We do not have the time or money to take this to court ...Read More

Georgia contractor filed a mechanics lien for a remainder portion of a project. The amount is in dispute due to (1) failure to perform; (2) improper performance; (3) negligence; and (4) failure of duty of care. The damage caused by the actions of the contract is likely more than the remainder amount per the signed contract. It is also found during dispute that contractor is not licensed in the State of Georgia, which makes them ineligible to file a mechanics lien or otherwise seek to enforce contract in the first place. The remainder amount (which is also disputed) is between 4-5K. I would like to know what is the best step to take....Read More
We are a manufacturing company that is supplying materials to a general contractor for a project in New Jersey. We are not clear on the rules in NJ for what is considered first labor/material furnishing date. From our own research, we found conflicting information that we would use the date material was first delivered as furnishing date. But also read that if we provide a substantial amount of labor prior to delivery, which we do as we are a manufacturing company, we would use the date we first provided labor on the job such as fabrication, design, etc.
We understand that preliminary notice is based on this first labor/material furnish date and want to make sure we are using the correct date. Any advice would be much appreciated. ...Read More

We have a GMP/open book contract for a $25M food manufacturing expansion. My question is what backup/detail does the prime GC owe us when their subs are predominantly GMP contracts as well AND they are self performing a great deal of work? Can we request detail for self performed work? Any additional backup (invoices, etc) requested from their subs? ...Read More
We are a material supplier that fabricates and ships metal panels for building exteriors. We supplied panels to a car dealership in New Jersey. A preliminary notice WAS sent, but sadly the deadline to file the lien was missed. We received a message through LevelSet that the deadline to foreclose on the line is in a few days. Do we still have some sort of legal claim or have we missed our chance? We are owed $15,689.
Preliminary Notice was sent 02/26/2021 - Deadline to file a construction lien WAS 06/03/2021 (missed) - Deadline to foreclose on lien 03/04/2022...Read More
Hello. I recently got a call from the title company indicating that there's a lien to an LLC that own the property prior the LLC that I bought it from. I did my due diligence and bought the title insurance. However, the lien was done in 2020 but I purchase the home in December 2018.
I do have a contract in place to sell the property, I will be able to keep moving forward and sell the property? Don't know what type of lien is as of now.
Thanks,

We did some change order work for our contractor by email request without a written change order (wasn't in the contract) and have yet to receive the change order to increase the contract for the work provided. Unfortunately, to my horror I realized I have issued lien waivers covering those months we did the work and didn't bill for so the amount was zero (oversight on my part).
If we needed to, are we still able to file a lien for unpaid work we haven't billed for that covered those months we issued waivers? ...Read More
