Construction Law
Is There an Affordable Way to File All My Mechanic’s Liens?
There are many reasons why contractors, subcontractors, and other construction professionals employ a Nashville mechanics’ lien law attorney to file their liens on their behalf. If an owner refuses to pay you for services rendered, a construction attorney will make sure that the lien is submitted accurately and before the deadline. They will also help fulfill other obligations, including providing required notices to ensure your lien remains valid.
Of course, when you hire a construction attorney to ensure you receive payment, you will need to pay this professional for their services. In this brief article, a Nashville construction lien lawyer will discuss the most affordable way you can file a lien while still seeking the legal advice of a construction law firm. At Cotney Attorneys & Consultants, we created a legal subscription plan model with the modern day contractor in mind. We eliminated the hourly billing model from some of our core legal services, so you can streamline your right to payment.

What Does It Cost to File a Lien?
The cost of a lien can vary greatly depending on the complexity of the lien and where you are located, among other factors. Generally, you can successfully file a lien with the assistance of an attorney for a total cost of anywhere from $200 to $1,000. Fortunately, most attorneys will provide you with a fixed fee before performing this service, so you at least know what you’re paying for. Unfortunately, once that service is rendered, you will need to hire an attorney again the next time you need to file a lien. For construction business owners that regularly file liens to preserve their right to payment, this can become a costly endeavor.
Streamlining the Payment Process
If you own a business and you regularly need to file liens and bond claims, you may be interested in a service that provides unlimited lien and bond claims for as low as $1,199 per month. With our Silver Plan, you also receive unlimited contract review, demand letters, employee manual reviews and updates, and access to our attorneys on-demand. Also, as a $200 monthly add-on service, we will provide you with unlimited preliminary lien and bond notices. This way you can reserve your right to payment on all your projects.
