Can I file a mechanics lien?

FloridaMechanics Lien

I have work at 4 different locations and the client hasn't paid. I submitted a preliminary and also, the last day of work is 12/19/22. Can someone get back to me about this? All 3 invoices are due and the client hasn't paid anything.

As a company who supplies the persons performing labor on projects, you are not allowed to file construction liens. This is settled law in Florida unless and until the Legislature changes the pertinent definitions in the Construction Lien Law. Nevertheless, you would have legal recourse against your customer for breach of contract. I suggest that you consult with a lawyer about institutiing legal action to recover this debt.
