This is just general information. No representations are made and no attorney client relationship is established by this communication. In most matters there are strict time limitations within which actions may be taken or your rights will be compromised. We are not taking any action on your matter and will not be considered your attorney or tax representative until both you and we have signed a fee agreement.
We, therefore will take no action on your behalf unless a written retainer agreement is signed. There are strict deadlines, called statutes of limitation, within which claims or lawsuits must be filed. Therefore, if you do not retain SELIKLAW, you should immediately seek the services of another attorney or other advisor.
Re: mechanic's lien
If a lawsuit is not filed within 90 days of recordation of a mechanic's lien, a Petition can be filed with the Court to remove it. There are other requirements in some cases such as a Preliminary Notice being given. We would need to review your documents and correspondence if that mechanic's lien is to be removed.
