And if it's not worth chasing, we'll say so.

Most valid liens never turn into money. They just expire.

Filing is step one, not the finish line — miss the enforcement deadline and your leverage is gone, no matter how real the debt.

Enforce a lien

A lien on its own is just paperwork. Enforcement turns it into a check.

Attorney demand, notice to every party, foreclosure suit if it comes to that. Most claims settle after the demand.

The old math
$15,000+
Traditional firm, hourly, to enforce a $40K lien
  • $350–$500/hr, win or lose
  • Retainer up front
  • Too small for real litigators to call back
  • Your deadline keeps running
The Lienhound math
A fraction of that
Because AI does the expensive part
  • Review, research, drafting — minutes, not billable hours
  • Attorneys sign everything that matters
  • Price quoted up front, after a free assessment
  • In fee-shifting states, the loser often pays your attorney fees

We didn't discount the lawyers. We deleted the busywork.

Built for subs stiffed by a GC who got paid and didn't pass it down. GCs ghosted after the punch list. Suppliers whose materials are already in the building. Equipment rental outfits whose invoices got ignored.

The stuff people actually ask us.

Is Lienhound a law firm?+

No. Lienhound is a technology company. All legal work — demands, filings, lawsuits — is done by independent licensed law firms in your state. We do the research and document prep that make their work fast and affordable.

What does it cost?+

Filing is a flat fee, quoted before you commit. Enforcement pricing is shown up front after the free assessment — no hourly surprises, no open-ended retainers. On qualifying claims, payment can come out of the recovery.

My lien is already filed. Can you still help?+

Yes — that's our specialty. Upload it and we'll check whether it's enforceable, how much time you have, and what it's realistically worth. Even if the paperwork isn't perfect: some defects kill a lien, many don't. Free.

Will I have to go to court?+

You might — and if it's headed that way, we'll have that conversation with you before anything gets filed. But most of the time, people settle. A formal demand or a freshly filed suit is usually enough: owners and lenders don't want a fight over the title, they want the problem gone.

Will this burn my relationship with the GC?+

Honest answer: if they've owed you money for months and ignored you, the relationship is already burned — you're just the only one still being polite about it. That said, an attorney demand often gets treated as "business" in a way your phone calls weren't. Plenty of subs get paid and keep working with the same GC.

Your lien has an expiration date. Your patience shouldn't be the reason it dies.
