I did mittigation on a hoi claim...my last day was june 1, 2019...the total project was done by june 9, 2019. In las vegas, nv. Is their anything i can do at this point...i think my 90 days are up...i wondering if their is anything i can do and if i file a lien can i win?
NevadaGC with very basic time and materials contract with property owner of single family home in Illinois. Work was completed, including by subcontractors, and client paid by personal check. Later that day, client started complaining that several things requested to be completed hadn't been done. Following day client claimed minor damages (paint splatter, scratches, etc) and demanded partial refund. If check is ultimately returned by bank for stop payment request or non sufficient funds is filling a mechanics lien still an option or would it be an improper filling because they "paid" and I would have to instead pursue remedies related to bounced checks?
Also, would your company costs and county costs for filling a lien be able to be added to the lien claim amount?

WashingtonThe owner hired me to do architectural plans for a house she bought - included extensive remodeling and additions. We have a simple contract. We got retainer/deposits in January and commenced work with scans and as-built plans, CAD drawings (using 3D software) and then a series of schematic studies. She brought in an interiors person (actually an IKEA specialist) - even though I had an associate interior designer working on it. Every time we met she had changed her mind on things - which is fine, just made it challenging to satisfy her stated and desired fast pace. After 6 months and several versions, she stopped communicating, then finally stated she had run into another architect and was working with her. I said that was fine but she needed to square up with us - then we could provide all the CAD files and go our separate ways. In early July, I provided an invoice for some $3K worth of services (in addition to the deposit received that covered my time and that of my interiors person and CAD tech) and 4 days later emailed to ask when I might expect payment as I needed to plan finances. Terms per contract are "payable upon presentation of invoice". She wrote back telling she thought it was weird that I wanted to be "paid immediately" after 6 months of no billing. Anyway - communication has been non existing since then, and continued Emails and calls (all polite and professional) have gone unanswered. I ran into her at a function - she said she didn't know who I was (then suddenly remembered) and mentioned she would take care of the bill. I followed up with another Email and - nothing. About 2 weeks ago I sent an Email reminder that our agreement also states a 1.5% per month late fee which I would waive if she paid in 10 days. That passed.
So - I need to know my options. We started in January, I billed in July, it's now October...
I should mention that she is a retired attorney for the State of CA - so she probably knows what she's doing which is what concerns me. I'd rather not have to resort to Small Claims court, which might be my only option. I did not file a preliminary notice.
CaliforniaIs it legal to file a lien against a property at the same time we turn the contractor over to collections?

New MexicoI did drywall Repair work for a homeowner : requested 3 holes patched.
$175 the Estimate was sent via an invoice app.
Homeowners signed it so I could do the work , I paid for the materials.
I found that there was a severe mold problem in the lower sections of the sheetrock. They requested that I finish patching the holes that were in a upper area of the drywall and asked for an Estimate for mold Remediation.
I finished the patch job and never received payment and homeowners refused to make payment
