  1. Mechanic’s Liens Case Study How Robinson and Henry’s Mechanic’s Lien Attorneys collected over $500,000 by using Colorado’s Mechanic’s Lien Laws

  2. Executive Summary A customer of a Robinson and Henry client refused to deliver over $500,000 owed to the client following the roof replacement on a condominium complex. The Robinson & Henry attorneys recorded Mechanic’s Liens on over 100 individual condominiums which resulted in the HOA, for the condos, paying R&H’s client. It is important to note that the HOA had already paid the contractor who refused to pay our client and the HOA then initiated action against the contractor to recover the double payment. Background The business owner, Mark, had been a client of Robinson & Henry for many years, during which time R&H assisted Mark with a variety of business issues. Over the years, as an owner of a commercial construction business, he had run into a number of issues with contracts and subcontractors generally related to breach of contract and failure to pay. After reroofing several buildings in a condominium complex, as a subcontractor, for only the roofing damage, Mark’s business was owed over $500,000. The general contractor continually ignored demands for payment. Challenge Mark was having difficulty collecting from the general contractor – even though he had already paid for the roofing labor and materials. This was causing Mark significant cash flow problems. Mark was owed over $500,000 and he needed the money quickly! “ The main thing for me more than anything is I want to know what’s going on… and [Robinson & Henry’s] communication with me has been excellent. ” Mark B., Real Estate Client 2

  3. Mark brought his case to the Robinson and Henry Mechanic’s Lien attorneys, who recorded over 100 individual liens on the individual condominiums. This resulted in the owners demanding that the HOA immediately remove the lien from encumbering their individual titles. To remove the lien the HOA was forced to pay Mark in full then bring action against the general contractor who had already been paid for the work to recover the HOA’s double payment. This quick resolution saved Mark from potentially long and expensive litigation and even from obtaining a judgment against an insolvent general contractor There were a number of local statutes at play in this situation including Colorado’s Mechanic’s Lien laws and the Colorado Trust Fund Act. Beyond that, there were deadlines and other requirements which must be complied with precisely to ensure payment HIRES GENERAL CONTRACTOR HOA HIRES CLIENT (MARK) 3
