Missed the 31 Day Preliminary Notice by 12 months. NOI was sent. What issues are at hand when filing the Mechanic's Lien?
This is on a large commercial project in Nevada serving as a subcontractor providing temporary construction labor.

If you proceed to file a mechanic's lien then you need to expect that the owner will defend by saying that they knew nothing of your involvement and may refuse to pay. However the courts in Nevada try to bend over backward to give validity to a mechanic's lien even if somewhat deficient. Additionally, you can also sue the contractor for breach of contract and non-payment with or without a mechanic's lien.
