Can I still do a Mechanics lien?

CaliforniaMechanics Lien

I have 2 invoices for a residential customer, one dated 12/2019 ($2650.00) and the other 3/2020 ($189.95). Customer has made verbal promises to pay and made a partial pay of $1000.00 on 3/2020 on a $2650.00 invoice. Now they refuse to pay the balance. Can I still do a Mechanics Lien or should I seek another method to collect? Thank you.

The deadline for recording a mechanics lien is tied to the date of completion of the project. Unless there has been a valid Notice of Completion, Notice of Cessation, or Notice of Acceptance recorded, the deadline for recording a mechanic's lien is 90 days from the date of completion. I suggest you consult with an attorney to determine your rights.
