Fighting for Payment for Massachusetts Construction Suppliers and Contractors
The construction industry has an important debt collection tool that is not available in any other industry — the mechanic's lien. When property owners or general contractors or subcontractors cannot or will not pay for the work you completed, it is important to act quickly. The mechanic's lien process is detailed and time-sensitive. If you miss any step of the process, you lose your legal claim.
At the Law Offices of Alan M. Cohen LLC, we fully understand the mechanic's lien process in Massachusetts. With more than 26 years of commercial debt collection experience, we take every legal step possible to obtain payment for your construction work. Please contact us to schedule an appointment.
