I am a private individual that remodels homes. My handyman hired a plumbimg company to perform plumbing services. However the company did not perform the work. Their crew only showed up for 2 days, started the work and then never returned. We completed the work ourselves. In June I recieved a notice from a lawyer that a lien has been filed on my home. In communicating with the lawyer, I has provided fradulatent invoices indicating all the work was done by the plumbing company. Previous to recieving this lien I had not recieved any invoices. At this point I believe the plumbing company missed their deadlines to file a lien, and created fake invoices to try and indicate they were within the timeline to file a lien. Should I challenge the lawyer back directly, or do I need to hire a lawer and counter-sue? Addiitonally, I have a closing slated in 2 weeks, and am concerend this will mess up my closing. Should I bond off the line for now?
