Protecting Your Financial Investment

The health of business depends on its ability to collect the money it is contracted to receive. At Golian McCaffrey LLC, we understand that our clients are often dealing with financial uncertainty. We act conservatively with our clients' money and work hard to minimize their legal expenses while representing them in these areas:

  • Mechanic's liens are placed on construction sites by general contractors and subcontractors in order to secure payment for their labor.
  • Materialman's liens can be placed on a construction site by the suppliers of building supplies and rental equipment who have not received payment for their goods and services.
  • Even when a subcontractor places a mechanics lien on a property, there can be problems collecting on those liens as a result of the general contractor's inability to get paid. Bonding off liens is a process that allows general contractors to collect money for their project even with a lien filed.

In Ohio, either an owner or general contractor will file a Notice of Commencement at the start of a commercial construction project. When we represent a contractor, sub-contractor or supplier who has gone unpaid, our first step is to investigate and review the Notice of Commencement in order to uncover important information about who to serve with any future lien.

Our office is conveniently located very close to the Secretary of State and Chamber of Commerce in Columbus, Ohio. This allows our attorneys to file paperwork quickly and achieve timely results for our clients.
