How long should I wait after I file / record my Mechanics Lien to take further legal action if the Mechanics Lien doesnt prompt the immediate results I had hoped for?
Each situation is unique so there is no set answer. Ideally we want the Mechanics Lien to do what it was designed for.rattle some cages and prompt payment, however while results are often times immediate, there are also times when it takes weeks or months before a resolution is reached and payment is secured. Be advised that Mechanics Liens are good for two (2) years from your last day of work, or of shipping materials to the premises. To keep your Mechanics Lien alive beyond this point, you must file suit to foreclose within this time frame. It is best to discuss with your own legal counsel when and how you should act.
