I have done work on my son’s home in recent years to help make the place more livable. The expectation was that the money I put out along with the labor I payed for would be paid back when he and his wife could. I also loaned money’s for the purchase of a font end loader, small bull dozer ,one 650 dump truck ,a John Deer tractor , a Kenworth log truck with trailer. All these loans were made opened with no date for repayment but considered a loan. My desire here is to put this in legal terms to protect myself because his wife is filing for divorce and need to know I can get payed. Do I file a mechanic’s lien ?...Read More

I did work as a plumbing subcontractor and have not been paid yet. Work was completed before the end of March 2020. I had no contact with the owner until recently when he asked me to produce invoices. He has paid the general contractor for his construction work but not met. I am trying to figure out if I should do a mechanic's lien. I am in Vermont. What does your service include? (I have read your material specific to Vermont on your website.) Would a mechanic's lien be better than small claims court? How to proceed?...Read More
