P.S. - This page is for business owners and their representatives only. If you're a homeowner rather than a construction business owner please click here to ask your question(s).

P.P.S. - Chad will be gone to Army Judge Advocate General Officer Basic Course School from 2/3/10 to 7/1/10. During that time frame, Attorney Mark Hinkston will be answering your questions. You can still use the form below.

The information on these pages provides legal information about Wisconsin statutes designed to help contractors acquire general background information on construction liens in Wisconsin. It is important to note that legal information is not the same as legal advice. Legal advice is the application of the specific applicable laws to a contractor's specific fact scenario. Although we go to great lengths to make sure our information is accurate and useful, you must retain a lawyer, and enter into an attorney-client relationship if you want to obtain professional assurance that our information, and your interpretation of it, is appropriate to your particular situation.
