If we filed a "Stop Payment Notice and Bond Claim" and pulled the claim, can we reissue a Mechanics lien?

California

We filed a "stop payment notice" before the project was completed in hopes of getting our past due invoices paid. They did not get paid. The General told us we need to release them of the notice for us to get paid, which we did. And to this date we have not been paid. Can we still lien the project?

Sounds like you may have causes of action against the General Contractor, and may be able to file a lawsuit against him. Regarding a Mechanics Lien, it depends upon how long ago the project was completed. Look at California Civil Code Sections 8414 and 8416.
