Not sure which one you need?

Tell us about the job. We'll check your dates against the statute.

Call with the job address, your last day on site, and what you're owed. We'll check whether you still have lien rights or whether it's a collections file.

If a lien makes sense, we'll say so. If it doesn't, we won't sell you one. When you call, you talk to the person who handles your file, not a call center.

FAQ

Questions contractors ask us

What's the difference between a mechanics lien and collections?

A lien is a claim against the property you improved, and it has strict deadlines. Collections goes after the person or company that owes you, and it can work after lien rights expire. We do both.

How much does a mechanics lien cost?

$199 to $500 per lien. That covers preparing, notarizing, recording and serving the lien. County recording fees are included.

My lien deadline passed. Am I out of luck?

No. You lose the lien option, but the debt is still owed. We can still pursue it through collections.

I already filed a lien and still haven't been paid. What now?

A lien doesn't always produce a check by itself. We can open a collections file on the same debt and push for payment directly.

What states do you work in?

Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Vermont, Virginia and Washington.

Are you a law firm?

No. We're a lien filing and collections company. If your matter needs a lawsuit or legal advice, we'll tell you so you can bring in an attorney.
