to invalidate the lien. Additionally, there are laws that provide a penalty of up to $10,000 for every fraudulent lien filed, in which the person who filSee More...

incorporated into the project. However, when the project is on a homestead, the contract must be signed by both parties and all owners of the home, and the
contract must be filed in the property records of the county where the property is located to file a lien. You may have a case for a breach of contrSee More...
