What kind of a lawyer should I speak to to get a contractor's lien removed?
You should consult with a construction or real estate attorney.
If the construction lien was recorded more than one year ago, and the contractor did not file a lawsuit to enforce the construction lien, LevelSet has a form in their Michigan library that can help you discharge the old lien without an attorney. The form is at this link -

If the lien is current, less than one year old, and you wish to obtain a discharge of the lien, you have several options that range from payment to litigation if you believe the lien is invalid. A construction or real estate attorney can advise you. Prepare a summary of the facts, in chronological form, before you contact an attorney.
You need a business attorney familiar with Michigan's Construction Lien Act.
