Re: Mechanic's lien

Mechanics liens can be filed without the court deciding a dispute. If he is demanding payment and will not finish the job you could win a suit which would disolve the lien. If he wants payment to finish the job the actual contract language should spell out whether or not he is entitled to payment prior to or after completion. I offer free consultations.
