I am GC in southern califonia I have started a job that involved an insurance claim who wrote their checks to mortgage company and the owners name lender involvement, I have recorded am prelim 20 days notice after the 20 days is my prelim illegal ? I was fired from the job 90 days passed (the job was not completed by me) is my lien illegal ? If the lien is legal I must file a law suite within 180 days or my lien expires ? Thank you
