In South Carolina a lawsuit to foreclosure the mechanic's lien must be filed within 6 months from the last date of supply of labor or material to the Project or the lien is dissolved. So the next action you reference is probably the 6-month deadline.

Would your firm be able to handle the suit? The project is located in West Columbia, SC & owner is Columbia, SC I believe . Also the tenant of the building had a P&P bond from the GC, and he sent them the lien to bond off I’m guessing . They sent me a claim form . My question is if I filed the lien in a timely manner does that also preserve the bond rights? I just don’t want to go to the trouble of filing a bond claim, and our rights are already gone . Thoughts ?? Thanks so much for all your help !

Bond Rights and Lien Rights are not the same and filing one does nothing to help you with the other. I am happy to help. Please give me a call at my office to discuss as there are several details which we would need to go over to determine if we would be a good fit.
