Can I file a mechanics lien

FloridaMechanics Lien

I am a painting subcontractor and hired by one of the 4 owners to paint house and a verbal agreement was made with no deadline and told no rush so within the week I began the job and almost two weeks in I was told to pull off the job along with all my equipment and supplies and told that they had renters and didn't want no work being done come to find out that one of the owners became upset because he felt that the work was going to slow keep in mind that I'm only one guy painting a big 2 story"30ft high" beach home with equipment that I am setting up as in scaffolding to reach by myself so they decided to fire me but not telling me exactly instead have been telling me next week Everytime and my intention was to have done before Christmas which at the time was a month away so I had plenty of time and again no time frame was told just told no rush plenty of time . I'm only one guy so I take jobs and have to give up jobs when I'm working on one so that I can finish one without interrupting another then when finish I am hopefully have another scheduled but after the past couple years of everything going on in the world it's been tough to get work and everything I do I get by recommendation and just word of mouth because I give good prices and do good work and am generally a good person and courteous to everyone so people like me but now I'm in a bind about to lose my place of living and not have Christmas for my family I have 2 little boys and my wife is stay at home mom and my secretary to keep our business in check the verbal agreement was to paint home one coat on white and two coats of white over the yellow I finished prepping entire house and washing certain areas that were mildewed then finished the second floor completely on the east side which is the longest and most work along with the back porch area and most of the front second level porch area I have pictures of everything they paid 2500 for the down payment and my equipment rental but now I'm left hanging and waiting to get started back only to find out fired and I have been waiting for 3 weeks do I have a case thank you
