Owner/Attorney at The Law Office Of Christopher G. Hill, PCLegal Guard LawyerThe 150 day rule is a measure of the amount of money that can be claimed in a lien. Money can only be claimed in a lien for those unpaid, non-retention,
amounts that are owed for work performed within 150 days of the last date of your work or the recording of a lien, whichever is sooner. This does not affect
retention or your right to a lien. The right to a lien is subject to the 90 day rule for filing.

potential bounced check scenario.
