Have you ever been shorted by a seller, buyer, been sold a property with clouded title, or been hit with a mechanic’s lien from an unscrupulous contractor? Although nobody likes to go to court, sometimes it becomes very necessary to protect your rights and preserve your capital. Often, an outstanding lien will prevent you from selling or refinancing a property. It is very important to identify problems early and retain qualified legal counsel as soon as possible in order to be aware of your rights and obligations under the law.
