Construction Lien Law

Protecting Your Right to Payment

In the construction industry, ensuring that you receive payment for the work and materials you’ve provided is crucial to the success of your business. When payment issues arise, construction lien laws offer a powerful legal tool to protect contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and other parties involved in a project. At BCN Law Firm, we specialize in construction lien law, helping clients file, enforce, and defend against liens to ensure their rights are upheld and their financial interests are protected.

Central Florida Construction Lien Attorneys

Construction lien law allows contractors, subcontractors, and material suppliers to secure payment by placing a lien on the property where the work was performed. If the property owner fails to pay for the labor or materials provided, a construction lien can prevent the owner from selling or refinancing the property until the debt is settled. This legal tool is crucial for protecting the rights of those who contribute to a construction project, ensuring they receive the payment they are owed.

Our attorneys at BCN Law Firm are experienced in handling all aspects of construction lien law, from filing liens to enforcing them in court. We work to protect your financial interests and make sure you are compensated for your work.

How Can We Help?*

Aggressive Construction Lien Law Attorneys

We provide comprehensive legal services related to construction lien law, including:

Filing Mechanic’s Liens: If you are a contractor, subcontractor, or supplier who has not been paid for your work or materials, filing a mechanic’s lien can help secure your right to payment. Our attorneys will guide you through the process of filing a lien, ensuring that all legal requirements are met and that your lien is enforceable.
Enforcing Liens: Filing a lien is just the first step. If the property owner still refuses to pay, we can help you enforce the lien through legal action, including foreclosure on the property if necessary, to recover the payment you are owed.
Defending Against Liens: Property owners may face liens that are unjustified or improperly filed. Our attorneys represent property owners in defending against mechanic’s liens, challenging their validity, and ensuring that liens are removed when they are not legally warranted.
Lien Waivers and Releases: We assist clients in negotiating and preparing lien waivers and releases, ensuring that all parties are protected once payment is made. These documents are crucial in resolving disputes and finalizing payments on construction projects.
Lien Priority and Disputes: In some cases, multiple parties may file liens on the same property, leading to disputes over priority. We represent clients in determining lien priority and resolving conflicts between lienholders.

Lois Carr

Polite, knowledgeable and thorough. Our attorney was prepared for our visit. We were treated with respect.

Robert Miner

I was referred to Wade Boyette by my investment advisor, Jean Dorrell, after moving to Florida and needing to set up a Trust and update my Will. Before deciding to work with Wade, I did my due diligence — reviewing his Better Business Bureau rating and reading online reviews — all of which were overwhelmingly positive, and now I see why.

From our first meeting, I was very impressed with Wade’s knowledge, professionalism, and ability to clearly explain the legal process. He answered all my questions thoroughly and offered thoughtful advice tailored to my situation. He handled the setup of my Trust and the update to my Will efficiently and in a timely manner.

I highly recommend Wade Boyette to anyone in need of reliable and experienced legal services.

Shannon Bass

Office ataff was extremely friendly! Wade was fantastic and explained everything to us! I highly recommend them.

Troy Ford

I had the misfortune of having to file for bankruptcy last year. I hired BCN Law firm to handle my case and dealt mostly with Ken Costello and his assistant Carol. They did an outstanding job on my case which was not the average case. They analyzed my situation and found the best path for me to move forward. It did take a long time to go through (such is the case with bankruptcy) but Carol kept my wife and me updated and assured us that our worst fears were not something that was going to happen. I would recommend the firm to anyone who needs one of the services they provide.

Sonja Gore

I had a great professional experience with the staff at BCN Law Firm and wholeheartedly recommend to any future clients in need of organizing their final affairs.

Lynn Willis

My experience with Heath and the staff was great. This was something new for me, and they explained everything very well.

Thank you all so much and I will definitely use and recommend you in the future.
