I got a false mechanics lien put on my property by a sub contractor

Indiana

I paid a contractor to do all my drywall, he subbed it out to somebody else. He never paid this guy Jose, now Jose thinks he can put a lien on my property because the Daily Had with DQ. The other contractor. But he and I never had a contract my contract was with another contractor. So I don't see how he has any legal right to be able to put a mechanic scene on my property man we never even had a contract or a handshake deal or anything.

Give my office a call to share some additional facts regarding your case. Unless the sub gave you pre-lien notice (within 30 days of first providing labor and/or materials), the sub wouldn't be allowed to file a lien. If the sub did you could certainly sue for slander of title. Potentially. there are a couple other moving parts here that also have statutory timeframes/deadlines.
