We file liens for you.

We provide first-rate lien filing services at reasonable rates to all Georgia Counties.

To get started, just complete our lien request form, including information on the last date worked, party contracted with, general contractor, address of the property and the county. Then fax the form to us.

We take care of the rest.

Throughout the process, we’ll keep you informed of every step along the way – from acknowledging the receipt of your order to confirming the filing of your lien. We’ll let you know which parties were notified and when your lien is released or cancelled.

We deliver a weekly status report on all liens, including contractor liened, jobsite liened, client-filing lien and satisfied liens. This report helps our active clients make better decisions on:

When you work with us, you’ll get the same reasonable
rates for first-rate service time after time. Our rates are
based on several factors, including the availability of
complete and accurate information, driving distance

copying, mileage, postage and certified mail expenses.

Our prices are based on having accurate information. We simply cannot provide free research or consulting when we are not supplied the correct information to handle your request. Listed below are the most common problems that arise, that are billable. They are listed here to help you prevent incurring additional charges because this is not a pleasant situation for you or us.

• Wrong County
• Bad address, poor address or insufficient address
• Not having a correct lot # or subdivision name
• Drive by jobsite to determine location
• Figuring out the proper party that you contracted with
• Working from a rough map to figure out the jobsite
• Re-sending notices when a bad address was supplied by you
• Waiting until the last minute to request a lien on a commercial job
• Any other factors that can contribute to this being a wild goose chase
• Court Filing Fees for the lien

 

Liens are filed in the respective county that the property is located within. The original recorded lien is returned to Lien Filers after recordation. The time that it takes for the Superior Court to return the original document varies greatly by County. Each lien includes a clause for applicable interest (7% under state law) from the date of filing.
 

Lien Filers will receive the liens from the Courthouse and safekeep the lien for you until such time that you request a release of lien by Fax. Clients have the option to have all of their liens returned to them from the courthouse. We request that you make this election prior to filing the lien. This option needs to be done for all liens, not on a case by case basis due to the confusion this may cause.
 

Requesting a cancellation of lien can be done by Fax. The order form has a section at the bottom that can be signed to cancel. Simply, sign the bottom and fax the original request back to us. In some cases, we may not have the original lien back from the Courthouse. In these cases, we will flag the lien that it does need to be canceled and release it when the original arrives. The original lien must be marked as canceled so that the courthouse can cross-reference the original document to indicate that it too has been satisfied.
 

We will send you a copy of the lien with the invoice for your records. This is not the original lien, but simply a copy for you to keep. At this point the lien has been filed and the copies have been mailed to the appropriate parties.
