if i send a NOI in HI, and I don't get paid, am i required by state law to file a lien? what if i decide its too expensive and just want to send them to collections?
No, there is no obligation to file a mechanics lien claim after sending a Notice of Intent to Lien. In fact, an NOI isn't a required step in the mechanics lien process in Hawaii. It is an optional letter used to inform the owner of the payment issue, and that you are willing to file a claim if need be.
Here's an additional resource on NOIs
