Mechanic’s Lien Attorneys
Mechanic’s liens are special rights that subcontractors, contractors, material suppliers can use to help ensure payment for work performed on a construction project located in Missouri. It is important to be proactive when using lien rights as they are time and location sensitive and when used correctly an extremely effective collection tool. You have lien rights if you did work that improved the value of a piece of real property.
To be eligible, your product must either be attached physically to the property, or you must have provided a service that contributed to the improvement of the property. Generally, eligibility is limited to subcontractors, contractors, material suppliers, or distributors of building materials.
