What is a Mechanic's Lien?

Also known as a construction lien or materialmen's lien, a Mechanic's Lien is an effective means to ensure that the property owners will pay the contractors for the service and materials used in improving the property. If the owner does not pay for the materials and services rendered, the contractor or construction company can seek enforcement of the lien. The enforcement includes seeking to sell the property to pay for the materials and services.

The Mechanic's Lien is recorded at the county clerk's office in order for it to become attached to the title of the property or land. The property owner is served with a notice that a lien has been placed on the property. If the property owner does not pay, then court proceedings to sell the land for payment of the services rendered can begin.

The Mechanic's Lien Must Be Properly Drafted, Served and Filed

The Law Offices of Ronald Francis will ensure that your Mechanic's Lien complies with the statutory requirements of the New York State Lien Law in form and in content, that it is properly and timely served on all parties, and properly and timely filed with the county clerk’s office. Attorney Ronald Francis will also advise you how long your Mechanic's Lien is valid, and how the Mechanic's Lien can be extended.
