No other resource has this sort of depth, and it just makes sense to get all of your information from one reliable resource.

Zlien’s Mechanics Lien Resources More Comprehensive Than Competition

Zlien’s lien law resources are second to none, and they’re free.  Let us explain why our resources are better than the competition.

NCS’ National Lien Digest

NCS publishes “The National Lien Digest” for a fee. Admittedly, the digest is a good and reputable resource for businesses and credit managers in the construction industry. However, Zlien’s resources are superior in three ways.

1. Zlien’s resources include free mechanics lien, preliminary notice and bond claim forms;
2. Zlien’s resources contain questions and answers to frequently asked questions related to the lien laws of each particular state; and
3. Zlien’s resources provides more comprehensive updates and alerts whenever lien laws are affected by legislation or case law, and those updates are wired right into our state resources page.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot.  Our resources are absolutely free, and NCS charges a subscription price.

Lien Lien Online

Another publisher of lien law information is “Lien Law Online.”  This company actually collects information about each state’s lien laws from attorneys in each particular state. The publication, therefore, is really a collection of resources that are edited and distributed by the publisher. Like NCS’ National Lien Digest, Lien Law Online is a good and reputable resource for mechanics lien information.  However, Zlien’s resources are superior in the following ways:

1. Lien Law Online doesn’t provide a good easy-to-understand overview of the mechanics lien laws. These articles are written by attorneys and can be very technical and dense.
2. Zlien’s resources address lien rights on private, state and federal projects, but Lien Law Online only regards private mechanics lien laws.
3. Zlien’s lien law alerts and updates are more consistant than Lien Law Online, which relies on attorney contributors to update the publisher. These attorney contributors very frequently procrastinate on their updates or don’t even provide them, and thus the updates are rather inconsistent.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot again.  Our resources are absolutely free, and Lien Law Online charges a subscription fee of $249 per year.

LienItNow is a competitor to Zlien’s mechanics lien filing service, and not a service that necessarily advertises itself as a resource for mechanics lien law information across the country. However, it does attempt to provide resources through its “Lien Reference Desk.”

The primary problem with LienItNow’s “Lien Reference Desk” is that the company seems to be more concerned about SEO than providing helpful lien law information and content to its visitors. In fact, we’ve done an article about how much of the informawtion on this page is wrong, and appears tailored to getting people to click on a link and give them money.

Zlien’s resources are superior, therefore, in the following ways:

1. Zlien’s resources are accurate
2. Zlien’s resources contain free forms, free lien law alerts and updates, frequently asked questions that are helpful and lien statutes.
3. Zlien’s resources logically and clearly separate private, state and federal information.

Tradition Software

Finally, Tradition Software is another company in the mechanics lien space. If you visit their website, they claim to provide information about deadlines, lien law statutes, and more.  Zlien’s resources, however, are superior in the following ways:

1. Zlien’s resources are much more comprehensive, focusing on providing both charts & full text explanations of the nuances of each state’s lien laws.
2. Zlien’s resources provide timely lien law alerts and updates
3. Zlien’s resources contain free forms that can be used on state, private and federal projects
