Don, Sorry to disagree here, but I speak with the voice of experience. True, just getting judgment whether in small claims or otherwise may not automatically produce the desired effect or result. However, transfer of the small claims judgment to district court then allowing an attorney to use various remedies then available will produce results. I'm not totally familiar with mechanics liens (not leans, please!) but I believe they are reflective of laws that allow retailers and others to physically retain possession of goods when goods or services are not paid for in a timely manner. Wouldn't that indicate that the goods now delivered are kind of a moot point as far as a mechanics lien is concerned?
