Time-Sensitive: Florida construction liens must be recorded within 90 days of your last date of furnishing labor, materials, or services. Missing this deadline permanently extinguishes your lien rights. Do not delay.

Why It Matters

Why Contractors Use Attorney-Prepared Liens

Avoid Costly Errors

Incorrect legal descriptions, owner information, or statutory language can invalidate your lien entirely.

Comply With Florida Law

All construction liens are drafted to satisfy strict Florida statutory requirements under Chapter 713.

Protect Your Payment Rights

A properly prepared lien ensures your ability to enforce payment if a dispute reaches the courts.

Flat Fee Preparation

Predictable pricing makes construction lien preparation simple and accessible for contractors of all sizes.
