I have a lien on a property owned by a company that I have previously worked for. We had a written contract and they decided not to pay me my last check. The total amount of the lien is $1,825. Is this something that I'm able to file a suit for on my own? Will I be able to charge the other company for any filing fees?...Read More
We were contracted to install sod, cement pathway n stepping stones after the initial demo of the trees n removal of sod and dirt. We were also asked in verbal agreement to cleanup front yard and to level. After adding the change orders on the invoice they refuse to pay the final payment of $2900. They claim that we damaged their front lawn, when it was already in dissarray. Yes we did drive on it to get access to the back yard but are not satisfied with our repsirs. The front has St. Augustine n we are in the winter season so its dormant. It will not be green till mid spring.

Do we have to litigate against CS Builders before the owner or at the same time? ...Read More
Hello,
I have a question. We currently have a rider contract that states. The company “strives to pay in 30 days” but when we began to work with them they verbally had stated 30-45 days to get paid for work completed. They have now gone over the 30 and are well into 60 days. How can we get paid? They are paying very slowing and late. I’m sure they don’t have an infinite time to pay. ...Read More

We have recently began using Levelset and we were told that notice of commencement is only to protect the general contractor from the supply company or sub contractor from also filing a lien, but because we know that it will not be a situation for us it is not required in our case. We want to make sure that we aren't missing any necessary steps to secure that a lien can be filed.
Please note that this situation pertains to jobs in GA and SC. ...Read More
