There are specific time limits in which to file a 'mechanic's lien'. You should speak to counsel IMMEDIATELY, especially where you have spent so much time via email trying to get paid. Alternatively, if the time has expired to file a lien, you still have the option to bring a lawsuit, where upon being granted judgment, the judgment will also act as a form of 'lien' on the debtor's property.
