Proactive, Cost-Effective Representation
If you have provided labor or services on a construction project and have not been paid, you can file a lien to protect your interests, known as a mechanic's lien. Once the lien is filed and served, if you still have not been paid within one year, you can seek to foreclose on the lien. The filing requirements for mechanic's lien are fairly technical and extremely specific. If you do not follow proper procedures, you may lose your right to foreclose and obtain payment. Therefore, you want an experienced lawyer to handle the process for you, someone who has successfully helped others in similar circumstances.
At the law office of Kelly & Lemmons, P.A., we have protected the rights of individuals and businesses in Minnesota and western Wisconsin since 1975. We represent contractors, subcontractors, engineers, architects, surveyors and others who have worked on construction projects with a variety of issues, including mechanics' liens. We take a proactive approach and help clients find cost-effective and creative solutions that meet their objectives.
Protect Your Rights With a Mechanics' Lien
We handle all matters related to the filing of a mechanic's lien and lien issues related to residential or commercial property. Our representation includes:
- Gathering and assessing all relevant evidence
- Preparing and filing all required documents
- Acting as your representative in all hearings or proceedings
We will also be your advocate in foreclosure proceedings, working to make certain that your lien has priority over a mortgage on the property. We know from experience that these types of claims are often aggressively defended by title insurance companies. We have successfully taken on the big title insurance companies in the past, and have the skill, knowledge, experience and resources to help you protect your rights.
