How will filing a lien affect arbitration? Next steps

California

Hello, We are attempting to recoup payment for work completed on a project here in San Francisco. We filed a notice of intent to lien and have made several unsuccessful attempts to collect payment. I have two questions: First, has our lien been filed with the county if the intent to lien has been filed or is the lien filed when we enforce the lien? Second, would filing the lien cause any issues with arbitration, or is it the enforcement of a lien which would conflict with arbitration? Thank you

You need to record the lien in the county where the property the subject of the lien is located. A mechanic's lien can be handled in arbitration and enforced in the court. You need to contact a construction lawyer in San Francisco.
