Mechanics' liens
You start every job expecting to be compensated for your work. This is your craft, and you have the experience to charge for your services and your time. But when the contractor who hired you for these services withholds payment, you need a skilled construction law and mechanic's lien attorneys to help.
At O'Rourke & Associates, our lawyers prepare and file liens to protect you and collect the money you are owed for the work you performed and the materials and equipment you supplied. The firm also serves Notice of Furnishing to increase the likelihood that a subcontractor or supplier will be paid in full and on time. Lastly, we serve bond claims to protect and collect your money, primarily on public construction projects.
If all of these efforts do not result in rightful payment to you, O'Rourke & Associates is ready to file for lien foreclosure on your behalf and litigate your claim. We take delinquent contractors through alternative dispute resolution methods in order to preserve your finances and your relationships within the Ohio construction industry. If mediation and arbitration do not resolve your issue, we take your case to court in an effort to see that subcontractors and suppliers are rightfully compensated for their work and materials.
