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.

We have now used BCN Law Firm on two separate occasions and each time we dealt with Carol Crowe and neither time did she disappoint. Always friendly, professional, knowledgeable and most importantly available everytime we reached out. Also a special thanks to Isabel Freeman who was also very helpful. If you need any type of legal advice or assistance, I would not hesitate to reach out to BCN law firm.

I cannot say enough good things about Travis and his team and the way they handled my case. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of and understood everything that was happening. They were professional, compassionate, responsive, and genuinely cared about getting the best possible outcome for me. I never felt like just another case or a number. They took the time to listen to my concerns, answer all of my questions, and keep me informed throughout the entire process. What really stood out to me was how hard they worked on my behalf. They went the extra mile when they didn’t have to, fought for what was right, and made a stressful situation much easier to deal with. I always felt like I had someone in my corner. If you are looking for an accident attorney who truly cares about their clients and is willing to go above and beyond, I highly recommend Travis. I am extremely grateful for everything they did for me and would absolutely trust them again.

I hired BCN law firm to handle my bankruptcy. Having always prided myself in handling my finances responsibly, when I had some health issues which I could not recover from financially I decided to plead bankruptcy. BCN law firm ( Carol ) made the whole process seamless. Carol was understanding, professional, and put my mind at ease during this difficult time. It’s people like Carol who have compassion for people that makes all the difference when hiring an attorney. Thank you Carol and BCN Law firm. If I could leave 10 stars I would have. Thanks again Carol and Wade Boyette!
