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.

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.

Very organized, knowledgeable, strives to explain each and every detail. The office staff is very professional and the lady at the Lady Lake office is very polite, and is very competent. The entire staff all present themselves to be professional. I had this firm handle some business 8 years ago and was pleased with their service, I chose them this time based on past work. The lady of the hour has to be Ms. Crowe. Extremely knowledgeable and professional - patient. She knows how to steer you to the conclusion. Overall I would rate the firm at 10+. Would not hesitate to recommend BCN.
