If a mechanic lien is filed and then removed after payment how can one obtain a copy of the lien and proof of service, method of service. I believe an unethical contractor lied in order to get a lien, I was never served a copy in person or by mail. My windows leak, my floors are coming apart he failed to give me a back porch and a host of other problems. I am eager to find out which part of the process he skipped and or lied about. There should be a record in the recorder's office or superior court which neither seem to have in there files. Desperate to know how can this be!!!! The courts/ mediation was more concerned about settling than what was right and just.
