When you as a contractor or a supplier perform work or supply materials to a job, you
are entitled to be paid.
A Mechanic's Lien is a legal instrument that blocks the property owner's ability to freely
sell or refinance the property that is has been Liened.
A Mechanic's Lien is a serious instrument that is the first step to recovering your
money. It is a matter of public record for the whole world to see that this person did not
pay you.
A Mechanic's Lien shows up in a title search and or judgement search and affects the
credit of the debtor and his or her ability to secure financing for current or future
projects.
At least half of the debtors immediately take steps to settle the debt after being served
with a "Notice of Mechanic's Lien" on them and their property.
When you work for a General Contractor and he has been paid by the property owner
but has not paid you, the Lien is against the property owner. Now both you AND the
property owner have an interest in making the General Contractor pay you and you
now have even more leverage.
