Rules and regulations for sending a Wyoming Mechanics Lien
In Wyoming, parties who did not contract directly with the property owner must file a mechanics lien within 120 days from either: last delivering labor or materials, or, the end of the project as a whole; whichever is earlier. This marks the expiration of that period, and your claim of lien for this project must be filed before this date.
After completing the Wyoming Mechanics Lien Form, you must deliver it to the appropriate parties required by statute. Notices are typically served on the property owner and, for sub-tier parties, the general contractor. However, depending on the type of notice, it can be helpful to send notices to anyone else who is in charge of your payment, like a lender or surety company on the project.

Which should I do first?
Generally speaking, hiring a lawyer and immediately jumping to litigation might be a little more aggressive than necessary, at least to start. When unpaid for construction work, filing a mechanics lien provides an opportunity to recover payment without necessarily having to hire an attorney or resort to litigation. Levelset discusses how mechanics liens force payment here: How Do Mechanics Liens Work? 17 Ways a Lien Gets You Paid. Note also that it doesn't appear that contractors need to be licensed in order to pursue a mechanics lien in Wyoming. But confirming that with a WY construction lawyer could be helpful.
With that being said, working with a lawyer to collect payment can be a very effective route as well. Plus, they'll be able to give you specific legal advice tailored directly to your situation. And, they can intervene without necessarily filing a lawsuit, as well. Sending demand letters via attorney can be an effective way about recovering payment. More on demand letters here: Construction Demand Letters – How To Write One That Gets You Paid.
Also, note that if you do decide to pursue a mechanics lien, you could also proceed with a fraud claim as well, if appropriate. Using a lien claim won't stop you from also pursuing other routes of recovery as well.
