Subcontractors who go unpaid on commercial jobs in Washington DC are generally entitled to file a mechanics lien in order to force payment. This article will provide a step-by-step breakdown on how to file - including what information to include: How to File a Mechanics Lien in Washington, DC | A Step-by-Step Guide to Get You Paid. Additionally, this resource will provide great background info on DC mechanics lien claims: Washington DC Mechanics Lien Guide and FAQs. It's also worth noting that the mere threat of a lien claim could get you paid, too, without the headache of a lien filing. More on that here: What is A Notice of Intent to Lien And Should I Send One?
