Whether or not if a contractor who files a mechanic's lien can also collect attorneys fees and if so, can that be added to the mechanics lien or how would that be collected?

Under New York law, attorney's fees may NOT be included in the amount for which you file the lien. You should consult your counsel regarding whether you can recover attorney's fees in a legal action to enforce your lien.
