I am a sub contractor who has not been paid for services rendered . The contractor has made constant claims to pay but has not fulfilled its promise. I provided labor on a kitchen remodel in the amount of 996.00$
A mechanics’ lien has to be filed in the Superior Court, and an artificial entity (a corporation, LLC, etc.) must have an attorney to file in that court. For the amount you’re seeking I suggest the JP Court. You do not need an attorney there though you do have to file a form and pay a fee to represent your business.
If you are not operating as a business I suppose you could file in Superior Court on your own, but there are a number of detailed requirements to perfect a mechanics’ lien. Again, the JP Court is probably your least expensive option.
