What We Do

Our Mechanic’s Liens Services

Verification of Project Information

Before a lien can be filed, the underlying project information must be confirmed. We verify all relevant public and private project details to ensure your lien is properly grounded and legally defensible from the start.

Preparation, Service, and Filing of Mechanic’s Liens

Mechanic’s lien filings are governed by strict procedural and timing requirements. Our attorneys prepare, serve, and file mechanic’s liens on behalf of contractors, subcontractors, laborers, and material suppliers to protect their right to payment.

Foreclosure of Mechanic’s Liens

When a lien goes unpaid, foreclosure may be necessary to recover what you are owed. We represent lien claimants in mechanic’s lien foreclosure proceedings, pursuing full recovery through the courts when negotiated resolution is not possible.

Preparation of Lien Law Demands

New York’s Lien Law imposes specific demand obligations on property owners and lenders. We prepare and serve lien law demands on your behalf, ensuring all statutory requirements are met to preserve and advance your claim.

Review and Preparation of Itemized Statement of Lien

An itemized statement of lien must accurately document the labor, materials, and services for which payment is sought. We review and prepare itemized statements that clearly support the full value of your claim.

Review and Preparation of Verified Statement

A verified statement is a critical document in the mechanic’s lien process. Our attorneys review and prepare verified statements that satisfy all legal requirements and position your claim for the strongest possible outcome.

Construction Knowledge Behind Every Lien Claim

Mechanic’s lien law is unforgiving of procedural missteps. Filing deadlines, service requirements, and documentation standards are strict, and errors can forfeit your right to payment entirely.

WB&G’s deep construction law background means our attorneys understand not just the legal requirements of lien claims, but the real-world dynamics of construction projects, payment disputes, and contractor relationships.
