Homeowner Beats Inflated Lien Claim

A mechanic’s lien is a legal tool contractors use to recover unpaid money from a homeowner for their work on a job, such as a remodeling project or home repair. Unfortunately, some unscrupulous contractors will file inflated claims to bilk homeowners of their hard-earned money. 

Our client was in this situation when she retained Robinson & Henry's Litigation Team. She had hired a contractor to do $13,700 in roof repairs, of which she had already paid more than $12,000.

The contractor threatened to place a lien against her home for over $12,000 and referenced $62,000 in inflated claims. Our attorneys successfully negotiated the dismissal of the lien against the client's property, sparing her home and saving her thousands of dollars.
