Can I file mechanic's lien if the client is in active bankruptcy?

LouisianaMechanics Lien

We did not know until now that the client was in active bankruptcy since August 2018, she refused to pay us for the work we did, can we still file lien on property?

I am not aware of anything that prevents you from filing a lien because the owner is in bankruptcy. However, priority may be affected depending on the various claims that have been filed.
