Timeline for receiving lien release

Florida

Contractor caused $7000 damage to my home replacing tile roof so I withheld pmt. He filed lien. I gave his attorney complete pmt to hold in escrow and asked for lien release. It's been several weeks after check cleared and atty still wont provide release and still hasn't provided anything from city that new roof passed inspection.

Once you made the payment, the lien should be released right away. I would expect a reasonable period of time after payment to allow the attorney to communicate with his/her client, the contractor and obtain a satisfaction of lien. Any delay beyond a reasonable period of time is actionable. If you need assistance with this matter, please call my firm.
