Re: mechanic lien

Whether it was legal to file one isn't the question as he filed it.

If you feel there are grounds that he should have filed it you need to file a motion to strike. That will give you a forum to determine if the lien should be upheld or stricken.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
