Hello!
So i hired an old friend and his friend to paint the outside of my home. It was supposed to take 3 weeks tops and that turned into 2 and 1/2 months. After they did a terrible job and showed up maybe one or two days a week for the past 2 months, i got tired of it and fired them. They now claim theres only 12 hours of painting left and my house would be finished and they're threatening to put a mechanics lien on my house because I owe them over $5,000. We agreed upon $7,000 to paint and I had already paid them $3,300. Not sure what I should do about this situation but they did such a poor job painting my home i need to have it repainted by someone who is actually a professional. There was no written contract, only verbal. I explained to them when i let them go that i would be more than happy to pay them the difference after i get a quote later this week from an actual painter. What can i do to protect myself in this situation?...Read More
A mechanics lean was placed on my property by one of my homebuilders sub-contractors in October 2017. The lean was filed 6 months after the home purchase was completed in March 2017. I'm refinancing the home and the title company says the lien needs to be released in order to close on the refinancing. How do I get a release on the mechanic's lean so that I can complete the closing on the new mortgage? The property and lien are in Cook County, IL...Read More

Hi, I am in California. I am a landscape designer and gardener that has not been paid, as well as my worker, after many attempts. I have sent the invoice over email multiple times. He claimed the check was stolen from the mail and he would resend it but has stopped responding to my emails since. I have added a late fee and let him know I would have to proceed with a lien if we were not paid. Do I need to file the lien in the county where the work was done- Sonoma, or where I live- Mendocino? Also I was reading I need to file a preliminary notice. Where I did the work was the clients vacation home, how do I find out their primary residence in order to send the preliminary by certified mail? Do I and my co-worker need to file separate liens since we are both self-employed?...Read More

On January 1, 2021 a contractor came to our home and replaced our furnace for a cost of around $6000. We have been making payments and about $2100 is due. HOWEVER, the company filed a Mechanic's Lien on June 18th for the remainder even though we have been making payments. We have no contract for a timeframe within which to pay in full and I have read Indiana State Code 32-23-3 which states that "the filing of a notice to hold a mechanic's lien in Indiana must be completed within 60 days after the day on which the lien claimant LAST PERFORMED LABOR OR MATERIALS at the home." I would like to contest/remove this lien. What are my options?...Read More
If we are billing one owner, for one specific property but multiple jobs, should the prelims and liens be filed separately for each individual job or can they be bulked together? And when bulked together, can the job numbers be referenced as "EDP191-197" or do they have to be individually noted as EDP191, EDP192 etc.. ?...Read More
