Mechanics Lien
Georgia
I am a licensed design consultant in Georgia. I had a retainer contract signed and deposit paid. After 5 months of endless additions and delays - the affluent business owner refuses to pay.
I filed a lien and lawsuit again him. The deposition is in days and court in a week.
I am told,"THE PROBLEM IS THAT IF YOU ARE COLLECTING AS A "LICENSED" CONTRACTOR AND YOU ARE NOT A "LICENSED CONTRACTOR", YOU CANNOT COLLECT."
I do not believe this is correct, but my lawyer will not read the link of your website I sent the map of "same mechanics lien rights" for Georgia.. Should I give up and lose 5 months of work - that I was contracted.-

GeorgiaI file a breach of contract with my contractor , the case was dismissed with prejudice.the contractor did not have a counterclaim, He then put a lien on my property.The last day of work with him was June 15th 2019.
The lien was placed on 10/10/2019 more than 90 days of the required time to file such lien. Since he did not file a counter claim, do he still have a legal right to put a lien on my property?
GeorgiaI am a general contractor. I had a subcontractor file a lien on my clients property due to lack of payment. They were not paid because they did not finish the job so they did not get the balance owed to them. We filed a Contest of Lien, giving them 90 days to do something. They have done nothing. How do I get the lien removed. Thank you.

GeorgiaI have a commercial job in downtown Atlanta where the material cost is $400,000. The site has limited space and the customer wants us to deliver to their warehouse rather than the job site. This is a special order product and we have asked for a joint check agreement. However I am very leery shipping to a warehouse I want to ensure we have lien rights should we need them.
Can you tell me my options?

My husband in the GC on the residential renovation work.
GeorgiaPainters company refuses to accept the agreed payment by check, demanded immediate payment in full by cash before completion of project and put a lien on bigger amount then agreed (the next business day after they claim the project completed) in order to extort money. Is there a grace period in which I am to suvmit a payment, especially if it is delayed by the Payee as my numerous requests for payment mailing address are ignored. No contract signed by the company. There is something that appears to be a work order, signed by me for the agreed amount paid by check and the receipt for partial payment.
How do I pay in exchange for lien cancellation if Payee is unresponsive?
How my credit history is effected by a cancelled lien. May I sue for damage of my credit history?

GeorgiaI was an "Owner's Representative" or Owner's Consultant managing the construction on a $2m renovation project in Georgia and the owner has not paid me for work that was completed and now the invoice is over 30 days past due. Do I have mechanics lien rights / right to lien in the State of GA? I did not file a Notice of Commencement (and not sure if this is required for my role?).
GeorgiaI am the general contractor who has done some work on a privately owned park and has a sub who is threatening to file a lien by tomorrow. Here are the details:
We have released all of this sub's retainage except $5,000 to ensure he finishes some work. This is the deal he and I agreed upon about 30 days ago. We followed through with our end of the deal and cut the check for the $55k, and he has not done the remaining work as a part of his end of the deal. He is now threatening to file a lien if he is not paid by tomorrow. He claims the work is warranty item so he should be paid his retainage. The case could be made either way. Regardless, I know he will not come back out and finish if he gets paid the $5k. Plus we had a deal, followed through with our end and he is now not following through with his end.
The sub has provided a signed and notarized final lien waiver back in 5/30/19. So it has been more than 90 days since the last work was performed by his crews on site. And more than 60 days since the retainage final lien waiver has been submitted. I'm not sure if thsi matters, but obviously we have filed our NOC and kept all the lien waivers throughout the project each month for this and every sub.
Can he actually file a valid lien? If so, what does that even mean for a privately owned park? The client owns the park outright. They did use a construction loan for this project. Please advise. Thank you!
