Can I file a lien on someone who has not paid their bill from back in Dec 2020?

California

We did work for a homeowner and we had many delays due to covid. She is not paying saying that we took too long. Can I file a lien on her? I never filed a pre lien.

If your the prime contractor you can file a lawsuit based upon breach of contract. If you were a subcontractor, and the prime contractor finished more than 90 days ago, then your remedy would have to come from the prime contractor.
