Contractors and subcontractors across the country rely on SimpleLiens to protect their right to payment.
If you don’t see your question below, use our Easy Lien Assistant to get an answer specific to your situation.
SimpleLiens is built for contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers who have completed work but have not been paid. Whether you run a small operation or manage multiple projects, SimpleLiens helps you take action quickly without navigating legal complexity or high attorney costs.
No. SimpleLiens is designed for contractors who want an affordable alternative to hiring a construction attorney. Our system helps you prepare and file lien documents yourself, using the same forms required by law, without hourly legal fees.
If you have your project information ready, most users can complete the process in just a few minutes. Documents are drafted instantly, reviewed online, and signed digitally. Filing and mailing timelines depend on the selected services, but the setup itself is fast.
No. Filing a lien or notice does not guarantee payment, and SimpleLiens cannot guarantee outcomes. What we do is help protect your payment rights and provide you with a formal path to pursue what you are owed, which often leads to a faster resolution.
Yes. SimpleLiens uses secure systems to protect your project and payment information. Your data is only used to generate and file your documents and is not shared outside the filing and mailing process.
You did the work. You deserve to get paid. Let SimpleLiens handle the legal side so you can focus on what you do best.
A filed lien clouds the property title. Owners cannot sell or refinance until you are paid. It is the most powerful tool a contractor has, and you should not need a lawyer to use it.
Tell us about your project, your role, the property, and how much you are owed. No legal knowledge required. Takes about 5 minutes.
Our platform generates state specific, properly formatted lien documents based on your answers. Every document meets your state's exact filing requirements.
We handle notarization, county recording, and USPS Certified Mail in one step. You get tracking confirmation and a stamped copy returned to you.
Most contractors get paid before it ever goes to court, often within days of filing. For a fraction of what a lawyer would charge.
