Houston Mechanic's and Materialmen’s Lien Lawyer
Attorney Richard L. Petronella
At my solo practice, Petronella Law Firm, P.C., in Houston, Texas, I provide suppliers of building materials, including lumber, concrete, and acoustical and drywall materials, with assistance in perfecting mechanics' and materialmen’s liens, enabling building suppliers to assert their legal rights against property owners and handling negotiations for settlement of debt.
Materialmen's and mechanics' liens are time-sensitive
Texas mechanics' and materialmen’s lien laws are complex; outcomes rely on court decisions and claimants must meet strict filing deadlines. If your customer is in default and you would like to speak with me about representation regarding a mechanic's or materialmen's lien, please contact my Houston office at the first opportunity.
Material suppliers can either qualify as first-tier subcontractors, who have agreements with the original contractors, or second-tier subcontractors, who do not have agreements with the original contractor. Material suppliers can also qualify as original contractors when they furnish directly to the owner. Suppliers of specially fabricated materials have extra protections under Texas law. As your lawyer I will help you identify your rights under the Property Code and immediately take steps to identify the owner's funds and, if necessary, begin the process of filing and possible foreclosure of the mechanics' and materialmen’s lien. It is often more economical to negotiate a settlement in a payment dispute, I have handled hundreds of trials and dozens of appeals in Texas and federal courts and am well-prepared to represent you in a trial or appeal to protect your interests.
