The completion of labor to my residence occurred on December 2, 2020 and a Notice of Intention to Claim was sent to me March 17, 2021. Statement and Notice of Mechanics Lien was filed with county clerk March 31, 2021. The contractor was paid in full but did not pay the subcontractor due to unsatisfactory work. The subcontractor in turn initiated the lien on my home. Subcontractor recently contacted me to inform of lien foreclosure....Read More

Hello,
We completed a project more than 150 days ago. We were approved for a change order for additional work by the General Contractor in writing. The General Contractor is refusing to pay us because the project Owner is refusing to pay them for our and other subcontractor change orders. We were just informed of the project Owner refusing to pay. Up til this point we were told that all parties were working on it and that payment was expected to be made. I understand that the State of Wyoming requires that the mechanics lien be filed within 150 days from last working on the project. This date passed before we were notified about the Owner refusing to pay. I spoke with a different general contractor and they think that because we were told that we would be paid up until after the 150 days expired, that the 150 days to file a lien should start essentially now. What are your thoughts?...Read More
1-We got the contract June 3 and started right away
2-Piping was changed, so we did a change order and it was approved June 9th
3-Did another change order due to another trade hitting our pipe approved July 2nd
4-On August 14th they changed it to us having to get every billing form notarized and we had to go back to June billing and get that notarized and we did all
5-Had corrections even though we passed inspection and fixed everything they wanted in 2 days
6-On October 5th they made payment, but only for 50% completion and we have billed 70% and they did not pay any of the change orders
7- Emailed them on November 1st disputing the payment
8- Confirmed with the project super via email that we were 70% complete and he confirmed
9- Still no word from them.
Question... Can I file a lien for what is owed to me at this point? The 70% minus the payment they have made to me?

I have a contractor in Florida who didn't finish work agreed upon and thus, they were not paid in full. They have filed a lien against my property. They filed 88 days after substantive completion of work, which I know falls within the 90 days. But they never notified me. I've heard they're required to notify you within 15 days of filing. Is this true? If it is, does this render this lien voidable? What process do I go through to get this thrown out?...Read More
Hi, I want to know the process I must take. Our company was subcontracted to do work. The contractor signed a proposal that agrees to deliver full payment upon completion. It has been 3 months and we still have not received payment. every time we ask he gives an excuse saying he didn't get paid yet. Which is none of our concern because that wasn't in the contract. What is the step I must take to go about getting payment? We are in the State of Florida, and we did not do a Notice to owner before we started the work....Read More
