Topic: Mechanics' Liens

Attorney James J. Barriere will discuss and answer questions regarding Liens. He will begin with defining what a lien is and if an attorney is needed. He will go over the life of a lien from start to finish including the eligibility of a lien, are there costs involved, when does a lien have to be filed, and does it include an affidavit of service. He will also touch on the challenges that arise with a Mechanics lien.
