How do I get a former contractor to remove lien?

NebraskaMechanics Lien

I recently got a letter notifying me that there was a construction lien on our house. The letter was through the NE Register of Deeds. The issue is our contractor stopped showing up, so we fired him and had someone else do the job. 130 days later he filed this lien. He lied on the letter about the last date he worked so that it would still appear as if he was within the 120 day window. (I have everything documented in writing). He also lied about the contract amount. I have read that I need to send him a demand letter that he needs to initiate judicial proceedings. Is that accurate? After I do that, how do I go about getting the lien removed because I don't think he will file the paperwork to remove it. Thank you!
