Your first step should be to have your lawyer write a letter to the contractor explaining the facts you state in your post, and see what the contractor's explanation is. If the contractor refuses, you may have to file a lawsuit to vacate the lien. A lawsuit could also give you a chance to sue the contractor for other damages you've suffered, such as the contractor defaulting on the contract. Feel free to give me a call if you'd like to discuss further.
