Mechanics Lien

I filed a mechanics lien for $8000.00 when I was terminated from the remodel I was doing.Is it possible for me to raise this Lien to 11000.00? If so How? I'm filing my complaint action in the amount of 11207.00 and It won't look right if the lien action is only for 8000.00; or does that matter? thanks

Re: Mechanics Lien

The lien amount is not usually crucial as long as you can demonstrate the basis for your original amount. In other words, as long as the amount claimed in the lien is not arbitrary, the courts will not usually hold you to that exact amount.
