The
Overton Firm's legal focus is the Construction, Real Estate and Hospitality/Hotel
Industry and all matters related to Green Construction.
The current economy has caused an increase in lien claims on
construction projects of all sizes.
The Arkansas Lien Laws are some of the most complicated in the
USA. A lien filed in Arkansas must strictly follow all provisions of
the lien laws to be legal and to ensure payment. The improper filing
of a lien can result in not only losing the lien claim but can also open you up
to a claim by the property owner for "TRIPLE DAMAGES" to remove the
invalid lien under the law of "Slander of Title". If
successful, a claim for "Slander of Title" can award the property
owner triple the attorney fee and costs to remove your lien.
If
you are a property owner, then you need to know that on average more than 75%
of liens filed in the state of Arkansas are done incorrectly and The Overton
Firm has experience removing these invalid liens at little to no cost to you
and we can explain what your rights are when this occurs to your property.
You
need to make sure that you engage an attorney who understands and repeatedly
deals with the lien process to assure that you preserve your rights under the
laws of Arkansas to secure payment for your business.
We look forward to working to help
your solve your issue, please do not hesitate to contact us with any
inquiry no matter how small it may seem.
