Hello...I have a recorded Mechanics Lien dated 3/25 and nothing has happened. No check, no call, nothing. What is my next step of legal action.

A lawsuit to foreclose upon the mechanics lien needs to be filed within 90 days from the date your lien was recorded. The lawsuit should be filed in the County where the lien was recorded.

Of course, if your time to record a lien has not expired, you can record another lien which will re-set your 90 day time-frame to file a lawsuit.

You have 90 days to file an action in court to foreclose the mechanics lien, or the lien is lost. You could however still file in small claims court on the contract at any times and waive your lien rights.
