QUESTION
How do I effectively deal with a Contractor who has filed a mechanics lien on my property?
Asked on Sep 12th, 2022 on Construction Law - California
More details to this question:
My son recently hired a contractor (Green Living) to paint his home. There was an issue with the paint-job, where the contractor did not paint the house the color that was selected. (The house is pink???) Many attempts to have the contractor fix the problem resulted in failure. The contractor filed a mechanics lien on my son's home and we are seeking legal assistance to help remove the lien and resolve this issue. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Check this resource to see if the lien is valid:

If it is, and you are unable to negotiate directly with the contractor to have it removed, contact an attorney to see if they can negotiate on your behalf to help remove the lien or defend a lien foreclosure action.
