Let us handle your Mechanics Liens

Contractors and material suppliers know what a problem deadbeat customers can be. Sometimes it seems that the deadbeat debtors have more rights than the contractors and material suppliers who do their jobs in a timely, workmanlike manner. The Illinois Mechanics Lien Act gives the contractor and material supplier very powerful rights.

The Illinois Mechanics Lien Act has been the law in Illinois since 1825. And yet few contractors or material suppliers know how to take advantage of it. Illinois courts have carefully protected the mechanics lien rights of contractors and material suppliers but only when they file their liens in the form that the law requires. Let Illinois Document Preparation Co. prepare your mechanics lien documents for you.

IMPORTANT ALERT! Some lien-preparation companies are now claiming that you can include their fee in the lien. Not true. Literally thousands of Illinois court cases state that your lien is limited to the value of labor and materials used to improve the property. Lien-preparation fees are not includable. Be very careful. If you overreach, you risk your entire lien being struck down. See FAQ’s for more information.
