Comprehensive Legal Services from a Construction Lien Lawyer You Can Trust
As a dedicated construction lien lawyer, we offer complete legal services designed to help you manage all lien-related issues from start to finish. Our job is to eliminate risk, ensure compliance with Texas Property Code requirements, and help you resolve payment disputes as efficiently as possible—whether that means collecting funds, removing improper liens, or preventing costly litigation.
We start by helping you evaluate your eligibility to file a lien and preparing all required documents, including notices to the property owner, general contractor, or lender. In Texas, deadlines vary depending on whether you’re a general contractor, subcontractor, or supplier, and whether the project is residential or commercial. We stay on top of those details so you don’t have to. Once your lien is ready, we file it with the county clerk in the proper jurisdiction, making sure every field is completed accurately and legally.
If payment still isn’t received after filing, we take action to enforce your lien. We begin with formal demand letters and negotiations, but if those efforts fail, we are fully prepared to initiate a lien foreclosure lawsuit. As your construction lien lawyer, we aggressively represent your interests while exploring practical solutions that avoid long-term project delays or damage to your reputation.
MPP Legal also provides defense for property owners and developers who need to challenge invalid, overstated, or fraudulent lien filings. In those cases, we act quickly to protect the property title, release the lien, and limit legal exposure. And for clients who want to stay ahead of future disputes, we offer consulting and document review services. We’ll help you craft contracts that clearly define payment obligations, implement effective lien waiver practices, and ensure your paperwork is always enforceable.
No matter the issue, we deliver full-service solutions that protect your business from unpaid labor, disputed change orders, material delivery claims, and beyond.
Construction Professionals Rely on MPP Legal as Their Construction Lien Lawyer
Our work as a construction lien lawyer goes beyond simple paperwork. We serve as trusted advisors and legal advocates for professionals across every corner of the construction industry. From general contractors managing complex developments to material suppliers delivering goods to job sites, we know how your business works—and how to protect your payment rights at every level.
If you’re a general contractor, we ensure that all notices, waivers, and documentation are prepared properly so you can file a valid lien without risking your license or credibility. We help you recover retainage, enforce payment schedules, and protect your contract rights when owners fail to fulfill their end of the bargain.
For subcontractors and laborers who are often several steps removed from the property owner, we handle all the extra notice requirements and deadlines necessary to preserve lien rights. Whether you’re laying foundations, installing electrical systems, framing interiors, or finishing surfaces, your work adds value—and we make sure you’re paid for it.
Suppliers and vendors also rely on our construction lien services. If you’ve delivered materials that went unpaid, you may still have lien rights even without a direct contract with the owner. We help you assert those rights effectively so you don’t lose out on compensation for completed deliveries.
We also represent architects, surveyors, engineers, and design professionals. While often left out of lien conversations, these contributors may be entitled to lien protection under Texas law. We assess your eligibility and help you preserve and enforce those rights as well.
Regardless of your title or trade, if you’re involved in improving property in Texas, MPP Legal is the construction lien lawyer you can count on to fight for your payment and protect your legal standing.
