Welcome to the NTO & Lien Blog

Welcome to my first blog posting. I've grown up in and around the construction industry and have been through the ups and downs like what we're going through now (at least in Florida anyway), and I wanted to start a place where I could tell people what I've learned over the years about how to use Notices and Liens to protect themselves. I'm not an attorney, but I've had a lot of experience on the sending and receiving of notices and liens, and know a lot about how to use both of them effectively, and what the law specifically says you can (and cannot) do, and what really happens in the real world (at least from my experience). I invite anyone who reads this to respond with their experiences and information. My goal is to have an easy to use online resource for subcontractors and contractors to learn how to effectively protect themselves, particularly in market where money is tight. If you have any specific questions, please post them and I'll do my best to either answer them, or find someone who can answer them and provide that for you.
