Re: not paid for services rendered
For most small jobs, you are better off going to small claims court. Mechanic's liens expire after 90 days unless you file a lawsuit in Superior Court to enforce the lien.
If you get a small claims judgment, you can place a judgment lien on the persons's home that is much better than a mechanic's lien. You can also have the small claims trial in about 4-6 weeks form the date you file the lawsuit.
