Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a deadline to file a lien in Tennessee?
Yes. Tennessee’s lien statutes set strict notice and recording deadlines that differ for prime contractors and remote contractors. Missing a deadline can forfeit your lien rights, so call as soon as a payment problem starts.
Does my contract require arbitration?
Many construction contracts do. We review the dispute clause first, because it decides where and how your claim is heard.
