I got a notice from an attorney about a mechanic lien being filed on my name. Looking at the papers it seems I have 20 days to respond and it has been electronically filed in superior court.

We have a house that was renovated in South Bethany DE and had some work done by a subcontractor electrician who was fired from the job by the contractor. The contractor stated the electrician didn't complete the work properly. Contractor also paid the electrician upfront, per their contract, for parts and services with remaining balance due upon completion. I knew the contractor fired the electrician for poor work. The electrician has sent two letters threatening to put a mechanics lien on our house for the balance of the work he never completed. We paid the contractor the final draw on 6/14/19 and received the certified letter on 6/17/19. Since we are paid in full with the contractor, shouldn't the electrician be going after the contractor? It's beginning to become harassment from the electrician at this point. The letter was sent from his office in MD to the Trustees' house in MD.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated....Read More
