I want to know, that once the mechanics lien is filed in Kentucky, how soon I can file a lawsuit to enforce my lien.

KentuckyMechanics Lien

I was referred to an investor who owns a property and as a contractor I agreed to help them remodel the home inside and out to prepare it for rental. I was very busy and had part of my crew work on that project as I was working between there and another home. I was referred to this gentleman from a friend and felt more comfortable than I should concerning being reimbursed for materials and labor expenses that we had agreed upon. There was a person who supervised the project who had no knowledge of construction who kept leading me on that the owner was out of town and reimbursements would be made . I had spoke with the owner and he assured me that I would get paid once I submitted receipts and description of work. I am very detailed and keeping my books as well as notes on work completed along with pictures which were given to the owner periodically through project . The supervisor began causing trouble trying to hire my workers from underneath me and other issues with now I can see was try to scam me for the work I completed and material at purchase. There's no good way to put it but these people are very corrupt and it appears they never intended on paying me anything for material or labor. anyone who reads the communications between the order and I can see there was a divisive plan to con me out of my money . I wish there was something I could do to charge them with deception and Theft over and above the mechanics lien but I am satisfied if I get my money back from the job. Thank you, Michael Justice

Assuming you have filed a valid mechanics lien, you can file suit to enforce the lien immediately.
