Sounds like you need to sit down with a lawyer and discuss your positions on these 12 homes. If you have a valid lien, you should not give it up. If you do not have a valid lien, you should consider the potential consequences of refusing to release the lien. For instance, if you refuse to release the liens, the Contractor/developer will have to file a motion to get them expunged (i.e., removed from title). If you prevail, the court should require them to reimburse you for your legal fees and costs. If you loose, the Court may require you to pay for the contractor/developer's fees and costs... If you can show you did work and the work was not defective, you should be able to keep your lien if you have followed the correct notice requirements and if you file a lawsuit within the required 6-month time period.
