Can I still file a mechanics lien after the 20 days

California

I am a gc building 4 homes and I am close to Finishing them. I did not file my preliminary lien on time and was wondering if there is any sort of lien I can place now to ensure that I get paid in full once I get final.

If you're the GC prime contractor you don't file preliminary notices, instead you preserve your mechanics lien rights by giving the homeowner the Mechanics Lien Warning Notice in your prime contracts. So long as you gave the notice in your prime contract, then you can still file the mechanics liens.

The investment company composed the contract and I’ll have to look it over and see what I says about mechanics lien. In the event there’s no useful information on the contract I signed, do I have any other legs to stand on legally?

You can file a breach of contract lawsuit if your rights to file a mechanics lien were not preserved. If suing based upon breach of contract, you of course have to have a contract with whomever you're suing.

Probably not. You need an attorney for that.
