What is the next step if we don't receive a response related to the filed mechanical lien (it was filed in November)

FloridaCollections

We left the job site because we were not paid. We filed the mechanical lien with Levelset in November this year.

You have one year to file a lawsuit to foreclose a properly recorded lien, so if you recorded in November 2020, you still have plenty of time before the lien expires. Did you mail or otherwise deliver a copy of the lien to the Owner? If not, then that would be the next step, as you are required to serve a copy of the lien on the Owner before you can file a lawsuit.

The next step is to file a lien foreclosure action. How much is at issue? I may be able to help.
