Introducing the Decker Vonau Mechanics’ Lien Subscription Service
“An essential assistant to aid in preserving lien rights”
Problem: Subcontractors do not adequately preserve their lien rights, thereby eliminating a powerful tool for getting paid on problem projects.
Many of our clients are not serving notices properly, while others are not serving notices at all. Additionally, there are several common myths in the industry that subcontractors rely upon and thus fail to adequately protect themselves. One such myth is that the Sub has his lien rights protected after asking the Contractor in writing for a copy of the Notice of Commencement (NOC). WRONG!
In the current economic climate such protection is more important than ever. Everyone needs to preserve lien rights the right way from the beginning of each and every job.
The failure to properly serve Notices of Furnishing happens so often to our clients that we have decided to find a way to help.
Solution: The Decker Vonau Mechanics’ Lien Subscription Service
The Decker Vonau Mechanics’ Lien Subscription Service is an essential service to participating subcontractors and material suppliers. We will look for and provide Notices of Commencement, and will provide other services to participants on a fixed fee basis. The Subscription Service will be a limited representation outside of the normal representation of clients by the law firm. In other words, a participant may subscribe to the service, but still use other attorneys for their legal dispute/Mechanics’ Lien work or other legal needs.
