We have a roof project that we completed in October of 2017. The homeowner still owes $10,000 and we are trying to file a lien however, I found out he filed bankruptcy. Can I still file the lien on that?

If the work was completed in 2017 your lien rights would now have expired. As such, the bankruptcy is irrelevant. You could however have filed a lien claim against the real estate despite the bankruptcy.

No. You are too late. A lien must be claimed and suit to enforce it within 2 years of the last work for which the lien is claimed. Normally, you can perfect a lien even if a bankruptcy is filed.
