It’s important to understand who is eligible to file a mechanics lien and the proper way to do so, as any mistake will jeopardize your claim.

The Risks of Navigating Collections & Mechanics Liens Alone
Dealing with unpaid invoices is a frustrating reality. Without expert legal counsel for collections & mechanics liens, attempting to recover what you’re owed can quickly become a costly and potentially unsuccessful challenge. Filing under the Pennsylvania mechanics lien law or the law in other states is detailed, and any mistake can invalidate your claim and leave you without vital leverage.
Common risks and challenges when handling mechanics liens or collections without a specialized attorney include:
All state mechanics lien laws have strict timelines for filing and specific requirements for serving notices. Missing these deadlines or procedural mistakes mean permanently losing your right to file a lien and forfeiting a secured interest in the property.
Without the threat of a valid mechanics lien, debtors may have little incentive to pay, leading to prolonged payment delays, a failure to pay anything and an impact on your cash flow.
Knowing how to file a mechanics lien involves specific forms, content, and service methods. Errors here, however minor, can make your lien unenforceable.
A poorly executed lien or collection attempt can invite counterclaims or require more extensive, expensive legal work to resolve.
It’s important to understand who is eligible to file a lien under each state’s law, as this can help you avoid wasting time and resources.
Understanding the complexities of mechanics liens is extremely important. Without it, you could face financial losses, lengthy legal battles, and challenges securing payment for your work.
