Should I file a mechanics lien?

I had recently done some work on a house in Wilmington that consisted of removing damaged drywall from from multiple locations in the ceiling and replacing it, the leak that caused the damage was still there and I repaired that firstly then the tenant of the property asked me to pack my things and go because I wouldn’t work according to his directions which were nonsensical anyway. The owner and I agreed on a price of $275, I’d received $60 for estimated supplies which eventually came to $35. Since being asked to pack up and go I have been unable to contact the owner except one day through text. What is my best course of action to at least receive payment for the work already done if not the full amount ?

It would likely cost more to file and enforce a lien than the amount you are allegedly owed. Perhaps a commercial collections agency might be able to help you get your payment.
