New Jersey Construction Lien Law
For a contractor working on a project, securing payment for services rendered can always be difficult. In such cases, the New Jersey Construction Lien Law protects the right of a contractor to file claim for a private lien. A lien places liability upon the owner of a property based upon the value of work performed or materials provided on a project. This prevents the sale or financing of loans on a property, effectively ensuring an owner can’t avert contracting debts. However, for the owed party, the process of filing a lien can become derailed by complex details and legal requirements. To ensure the validity and effectiveness of a claim, the services of a knowledgeable legal counsel are imperative. Conversely, we also provide services for owners or general contractors should a sub-contractor file a construction lien.
