Can I file a mechanics lien?

IllinoisMechanics LienNotice of Intent to Lien

I'm a subcontractor working on a large commercial project. They continue to promise us payment but nothing for over two years now. I am no longer a licensed subcontractor but I would still like to get paid for this project. Am I legally covered if I were to send a notice of intent to lien followed by a Mechanics Lien?

  Maybe yes, maybe no. You’ve not provided enough information to answer your question. The fact that you are no longer licensed in your trade is not a bar to recording an enforceable mechanics lien. Since you did not indicate how long ago you last worked on the project or whether you were listed on a sworn statement or statements to the owner, your question cannot be answered.
