Practical Tips On Filing A Mechanics Lien in Cook County Illinois

CHICAGO - April 15, 2013 - PRLog -- zlien™, the Nationwide Leader In Liens, has published a presentation guide dispensing practical tips and tricks on filing a mechanics lien claim in Cook County, Illinois. The guide is available for free on zlien's website, as well as through the company's Slideshare account.

"Mechanics lien laws are generally different from state-to-state and not necessarily county-to-county," says Nate Budde, a construction lawyer and the company's Chief Legal Officer. "But each county does have its own quirks that a lien claimant needs to know when proceeding to file a mechanics lien."

One of these quirks relates to how you can deliver a mechanics lien to the county for recording, according to the released presentation guide. In the case of Cook County, which is one of the most populous counties in the United States, it's not advisable to deliver a mechanics lien for filing through ordinary U.S. Mail.

"This is a big no-no in Cook County," say Scott Wolfe Jr., a construction lawyer. "Cook County is one of those counties that's just too busy for the mail. If you send your mechanics lien in by mail they may not get to it for days or weeks, and this can be fatal to your lien's validity or priority."

Instead of mail delivery, the Cook County Mechanics Lien guide from zlien suggests in-person delivery, delivery by courier or FedEx, or electronic recording through a service like zlien.
