A mechanic's lien is a claim against a piece of real estate or, in some cases, a claim against a vehicle. If you've provided materials or services to improve a piece of real estate or to repair a vehicle, you can claim an interest in the property to secure your claim.
The procedure for doing this varies from state to state and, particularly in the case of real estate, it is subject to technical legal requirements. Filing a lien when you have not complied with these requirements can cause you some serious legal problems and you could end up paying damages for slander to title and even end up being a target for criminal prosecution.
