with Jason Lambert
It is time for another lesson in lien laws! In Episode 22 of Quit Getting Screwed, Karalynn returns for the second installment of her fifty-state lien laws series. She is joined by returning guest and friend of the show, Florida construction attorney and host of the Hammer and Gavel Podcast Jason Lambert, to hash out the nitty-gritty details of Florida’s own lien filing rules.
Jason leads by saying that licensing is integral in the state of Florida. While it isn’t always necessary to perform all kinds of work, it is absolutely essential in retaining lien rights. The repercussions of being an unlicensed worker in Florida are extremely high. For example, without a license and a written agreement (construction contract), Florida contractors do not have the right to file liens at all. Additionally, suppose contractors work without licensing and are caught. In that case, one of the primary repercussions they face is that they must completely reimburse their client financially and cannot keep any of what they are paid. Needless to say, the waters of being a Florida construction professional are choppy and dangerous. Jason’s insight illuminates the problems and allows for Floridian contractors to better protect themselves, armed with this new knowledge.
