I have filed the lien paperwork through levelset my next step is to enforce the lien. What does that process entail and is it something you can help with?

Regarding RI’s mechanic’s lien statute (RIGL 34-28-1), after a notice of intention is recorded, the contractor has to file a complaint in the Superior Court where the property is located to enforcee within 40 days of recording the notice of intention as well as take other
measures including recording of a notice of lis pendens and service on
interested parties.
Here is a link to the levelset website regarding the process. Feel free to contact me to discuss further – Tom Dunn, Pierce Atwood LLP, rtdunn@PierceAtwood.com, 401-490-3418.
