The Mechanics Lien Process in the District of Columbia

Before filing a mechanics lien in the District of Columbia, it is crucial to understand the necessary steps and requirements. Our dedicated attorneys have in-depth knowledge of the local laws and regulations pertaining to mechanics liens, and can provide you with expert guidance throughout the process.

1. Notice of Intent

Prior to filing a mechanics lien, it is often required to serve a Notice of Intent (NOI) to the property owner and other interested parties. The NOI serves as a formal notification of your intention to file a lien if payment is not made promptly.

Our skilled attorneys will ensure that the NOI is properly drafted and delivered within the required timeframe, helping to establish a strong position in your mechanics lien case.

2. Filing the Mechanics Lien

Once the necessary pre-lien notice period has passed and payment remains outstanding, our team will assist you in preparing and filing the mechanics lien with the appropriate District of Columbia authorities. Accuracy and timeliness are crucial when it comes to mechanics lien filings, as any errors or missed deadlines could affect the validity of your claim.

We will meticulously handle the documentation to ensure the lien is properly filed, giving you the best chance of success in recovering your payment.

3. Enforcing the Mechanics Lien

If negotiations fail and payment is still not received after filing the mechanics lien, you may need to take further legal action to enforce your lien rights. Our experienced litigators are well-versed in mechanics lien enforcement and will fight diligently on your behalf.

Whether it involves negotiating a settlement, initiating a lawsuit, or pursuing alternative dispute resolution methods, we will explore every available avenue to help you secure the compensation you deserve.
