We are a company that hired a contractor to manage a renovation on a building that we purchased. We have received notices of liens against the contractor for our location. The contractor shrugged it off claiming that the lien notice was part of the invoice process for payment. We received another one since the discussion, and this time it looked different. It was actually filed and canceled once payment was made. We have not been able to contact the contractor since. My question: Is this a normal process, to file liens for payment? Or is this the step taken when the contract manager has not been paying his invoices? We have discovered that another big invoice was not paid dating back several months. We just had to pay it.

Are you still needing to get paid on this or anything else? I actually help companies/contractors collect money from companies that owe them. I collect typically within a week or so. Feel free to reach out, I don't charge upfront at all. Joshua@wolfgangandrhodes.com 214-518-9595
