Protecting Contractors and Suppliers from Nonpayment
Unpaid work is one of the biggest risks in construction. At Smith Jadin Johnson, we help contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers enforce their rights through mechanic’s liens and other payment recovery strategies. With offices in Minneapolis and Denver, we represent construction professionals across Minnesota and Colorado.
If you’re facing slow payment, nonpayment, or disputed invoices, our construction law attorneys are here to make sure you get paid for the work you’ve completed.
What Is a Mechanic’s Lien?
A mechanic’s lien is a powerful legal tool that ensures contractors, subcontractors, and material suppliers are compensated for their contributions to a construction project. Filing a lien places a legal claim against the property where the work was performed—making it nearly impossible for the owner to sell or refinance until the debt is resolved.
Our Minnesota and Colorado construction lawyers ensure liens are filed correctly and on time, giving you the leverage you need to secure payment.
