See if the lien deadline has passed before the consultation
The intake asks whether payment is still owed, when the work or materials were provided, and whether the other party is identified, then collects the contract, invoices, or lien notice itself so you see deadline exposure before you ever pick up the phone.
The exact intake your mechanics liens leads complete
This is the real 7-question guided intake for Mechanics Liens — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified mechanics liens lead should tell you
A legal claim filed to secure payment for construction work, remodeling, repairs, or materials supplied to a property, or the corresponding action to contest and remove a lien already filed against a property.
- Property Involved Located In
- Issue Involve Construction, Remodeling,
- Trying File Lien Because

- Have Any Documents Related
The questions your team needs answered
Every mechanics liens intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Is the property involved located in the United States? | State mechanics lien statutes only apply to US property, so a non-US location is a strong disqualifying signal. |
| Does your issue involve construction, remodeling, repairs, or materials provided for a property (home, building, or land)? | Confirms the underlying dispute actually involves construction, remodeling, repairs, or materials rather than an unrelated property issue. |
| Are you trying to file a lien because you have not been paid, or are you trying to remove/contest a lien filed against your property? | Determines whether the firm is being asked to file a lien or defend against one, which are two different engagements requiring different next steps. |
| Did the work or delivery of materials happen within the last 12 months? | Mechanics lien rights expire under tight statutory deadlines, so recent work signals a live claim while older work may already be time-barred. |
| Is there still money owed or a lien on the property that you want resolved? | Confirms an outstanding balance or active lien still exists, filtering out disputes that have already been resolved. |
| Do you know the name of the other party involved (such as the property owner, contractor, subcontractor, or supplier)? | Knowing the other party's identity shows how developed the claim already is and speeds up preparing a lien notice or response. |
| Do you have any documents related to the job (such as a contract, invoices, payment records, texts/emails, or a copy of the lien notice)? | Contracts, invoices, and the lien notice itself are the core evidence needed to evaluate whether the lien amount and claim are valid. |

Built for mechanics liens workflows
| Cliont capability | Mechanics Liens application |
|---|---|
| Conditional branching | Routes the intake differently depending on whether the client answers 'file a lien' or 'contest a lien,' so the fields you review match the actual matter type. |
| Weighted lead scoring | Recent work dates and confirmed unpaid balances carry more weight than old claims or resolved balances, surfacing live lien deadlines first. |
| Document upload widget | Collects the contract, invoices, payment records, or lien notice directly in the intake so you're not chasing paperwork before the consultation. |
| CRM routing | Sends qualified mechanics lien leads, with their unpaid amount and timing details attached, straight into your CRM as a ready record. |
| Fit flagging | Flags leads where the property is outside the US or the issue isn't construction-related, so you can filter them out before scheduling time. |
Common mechanics liens lead scenarios
Unpaid subcontractor, still within window
Work finished within the last 12 months, money is still owed, and the client knows the contractor's name and has invoices - this combination scores highest and routes straight to your CRM.
Owner contesting a filed lien
The client isn't seeking payment but wants a lien removed from their property, and has the lien notice and payment records on hand for review.
Old claim, deadline likely blown
Work or delivery happened well over a year ago; because the timing question carries a lower weight for late answers, this lead scores noticeably weaker even though money is still owed.
Unpaid claim missing basics
Money is owed but the client doesn't know the other party's name and has no contract or invoices yet, producing a lead worth a follow-up rather than an immediate consultation.
Property outside the US
The dispute involves a property that isn't located in the United States, which drops the score sharply since state mechanics lien statutes won't apply.

Mechanics Liens lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake separate people filing a lien from people fighting one?
One question asks directly whether the client is trying to file a lien for unpaid work or trying to remove/contest a lien against their property, so you know upfront which type of matter you're looking at.
Why does it matter whether the work happened within the last 12 months?
Mechanics lien rights are governed by strict statutory deadlines, so a recent completion date signals a live claim while older work is weighted lower because the filing window may already be closed.
What if the client doesn't know the other party's name yet?
The lead still gets scored and delivered, but not knowing the property owner, contractor, or subcontractor's name pulls the score down since it signals the claim is less developed.
Does a lead outside the US still come through?
Yes, but it scores very low since state mechanics lien statutes generally don't apply outside the United States, so you can quickly see it's a poor fit before responding.
How is this different from a construction defect claim intake?
This intake is built around nonpayment and lien rights - money owed, filing versus removal, and lien documents - not the workmanship or defect questions used on the Construction Defect Claims page.
What documents does the intake actually ask for?
It asks whether the client has a contract, invoices, payment records, texts/emails, or a copy of the lien notice, and whatever they upload comes through with the lead so you can review it before the call.
