Re: Nevada Lien Law
No. Nevada mechanic's lien law provides, in pertinent part:
NRS 108.238 Right to maintain civil action or submit controversy to arbitration not impaired. The provisions of NRS 108.221 to 108.246, inclusive, must not be construed to impair or affect the right of a lien claimant to whom any debt may be due for work, materials or equipment furnished to maintain a civil action to recover that debt against the person liable therefor or to submit any controversy arising under a contract to arbitration to recover that amount.
Your attorney can explain further.
