Absolutely. They have the right to retain the property, subject to timely receipt of payment. That what the finisher is holding onto is not what it started with is of no significance- you are paying for the finished product. However, if the finisher is holding onto the product for perhaps unscrupulous reasons, may lead to your having other claims, in addition to the return of property.  Gerry Wendrovsky, Esq.- Upper West Side Lawyer www.upperwestsidelawyer.com
