Contractors, Subs, Suppliers, And Owners

When payment stalls, timing is everything. Lancer Law prepares preliminary notices, records mechanic’s liens within statutory windows, and, when necessary, files foreclosure actions. On public projects, we pursue payment bond claims. Owners facing improper filings get swift challenges and releases coordinated with title and closing deadlines under real estate law best practices.

Paperwork That Prevents Disputes

We draft and review construction contracts, pay apps, and change orders so scopes and price adjustments are documented. If a dispute arises, our construction litigation team drives resolution strategies that protect schedules and cash flow.

Clearing Clouds On Title

Facing a lien you dispute? We evaluate validity, post bonds when appropriate, and press for releases. For sale or refinance timelines, we coordinate with lenders and title to keep deals on track while you contest claims, and we integrate strategies with debt collection or defense work as needed.
