Legal Question in Construction Law in Florida
Fraudalent lien
The General contractor placed a lien and then sued. We did not pay because damage caused by subcontractors and poor workmanship. He has not proven anything regardin his lien/lawsuit and has not provided documents to justify the orgiinal lien. He has issued Interrogatories. What should I do next?

Re: Fraudalent lien
I am not going to address the issue of the fraudulent lien because you have provided insufficient facts. However, With respect to the Interrogatories: You have been served with interrogatories. These are written questions propounded upon you and which you need to answer in writing. You may answer the interrogatories on a separate piece of paper, or on the interrogatories if you can fit them. Either way they will be reviewed by the opposing party to determine whether they are responsive and if you have any objections or privileges that are being raised. If you need additional time, then file a Motion For Extension of Time. The rules provide that you must answer the interrogatories within 30 days from the date when it was sent. Add 5 days (total of 35 days) if the interrogatories were mailed to you and not faxed. Do not forget to have your answer notarized.
Good luck,
