Re: Removal of Mechanics Lien

A proceeding must be commenced in court to either vacate the lien or resolve the dispute which caused the lien to be placed to begin with. Sending a letter will not do. More information is necessary to determine the type of proceeding that you must file. You should arrange for a consultation with an attorney to review your circumstances. Our office handles such proceedings.
