We are a subcontractor and the owner is not paying our general contractor so in turn we are not getting paid. By the recommendation from our general contractor, we are filing a mechanics lien against the property. It is a hotel located in Denver, Colorado and I wondering if the mechanics lien will prevent the hotel's owner from opening up for business. Essentially, I am wondering if filing this mechanics lien will get us moving in the right direction towards getting paid, or if the owner of the hotel will not have any consequences and will be able to open up for business.
