I need to file a mechanic lien in the state of NY. I reside in IL but understand I need a address of a law firm in NY before I can record the lien. Is this something you can help us with?

Usually in the ballpark of a thousand dollars to file and serve the lien itself- sometimes a bit more, sometimes a bit less depending on circumstances. Many companies use lien services like Speedy Lien for the initial first step. You could also retain a construction attorney who can file the lien, and then pursue payment through legal channels (for example, legal demand letter, filing a lien foreclosure proceeding in court, etc).
