Mechanic's Lien Foreclosure
You must foreclose (file a lawsuit) and file a Lis Pendens (lawyer talk for screwing up the title to the property) to perfect the lien within ninety days of filing, or the lien no longer has any force or effect.
A mechanic's lien is one of the few really powerful tools a contractor holds in his or her legal toolbox and must, therefore, be handled effectively. A proper foreclosure of a mechanic's lien can force an owner to pay you or risk having his or her property sold at auction. Without this tool, it could take many years and enormous expense to get paid.
The effective handling of the foreclosure is where Mr. McCarthy's background as both a contractor and attorney will benefit you. The law firm's experience and expertise in construction law can save you time and money.
