I could not find out who the new owner was till recently where I then filed a claim against property also. Now new owner wants to file a claim against me for slander of tile. I'm being told now that my lien my not be valid and I'll loose all money owed to me by original owner. Any advice please??...Read More

I performed handyman services via my LLC on a single family residence.
I was the only one working under my LLC.
Owner hired other people to do other work while I was there, and they ran the others off.
The work was directed verbally by the owner, with no formal plans or specifications.
There was no formal contract as I was working strictly by the hour.
All payments for 5 moths =/- until the last payment, when the owner told me she was not going to pay because of re-work needed and prior over-billing. The owner has stopped responding to all my attempts to communicate.
Can and should I file a Lien on the property?
If not, what recourse should I seek?
Thank you....Read More

I had a builder order a large set of kitchen cabinets for 10 or so individual homes. When the cabinets arrived, I installed 6 of the homes. The last 4 were already done by another supplier. When I asked the builder they said to get them done by Christmas deadline they had to get another supplier. I asked for payment on the 4 they asked me to order and they said they would use them on another home. Its been a while and not looking likely. I has the cabinets, and asked to deliver them to the builder and they have refused delivery. Do I have a right to claim a lien?...Read More
