Can I file a lien and submit the bill and lien to escrow company?

CaliforniaMechanics Lien

Work has been ongoing for two years. Payment was to be made when property sold. Property just went into escrow and I am not being paid $52,000.00 I did work myself and most of said work was signed off by inspector as being to code and done correctly. My title was independent contractor, 1099 position. Thank you for your time.

Were you a licensed contractor? If yes, then if you file the mechanics lien while the property is in escrow there is a good chance that will tie everything up, and your likely to get paid. You should consult with an attorney or Mechanics' Lien specialist to make sure it's filed accurately. If your unlicensed you may be out of luck, but have an attorney review your documents just in case.
