Can I remove a faulty lien by myself

LouisianaConstruction ContractDefectsLien Waivers

My contractor never finished the job and now has put a lien one year later on my home. The lien is very faulty and I sent him a demand letter and pointed out all the mistakes in the lien. I was told by the secretary that he's never filed a lien so I was a experiment. He's also inflated cost, added attorney fees and interest. I just want the faulty lien off my home. Will a bad faulty lien even hold up in court?

Proper process would involve filing suit to have the lien removed after providing notice of the deficiencies.

Unfortunately I don't have that much money. I needed to refinance in January and I just don't know what to do. I can't sleep or eat just so worried about losing my home. Just need something to arm myself with. I even paid him what I owed BEFORE he filed lien. Thanks for answering my questions 🙂

The positive thing is that you can recover attorneys fees and damages from the filing of a faulty lien.
