The NTO company has no idea how to handle complex property description issues, etc. and the lienor has no idea that the NTO company has no idea.  That is the whole point of unauthorized practice of law.

Reese, if it is a bad lien it is a bad lien.  Case over, you win and other side pays fees.

As to a notice company preparing a bad lien, then the lienor should not sign it.  If the lienor signs it, the lienor buys it.  Same result occurs if the employee prepares a bad lien and then the lienor/boss signs it.

Subject: RE: [CLC-Discussion] Texas Collection Agencies

Dan,

A claim of lien is more than just a notice to owner that is dropped in the mail.  It is recorded in the public records and places a cloud on someone’s title to real property.  It exposes the owner of the property to loss through inability to sell the property, refinance, etc.  It consequently exposes the party recording the lien to potential liability for slander of title as well as filing a fraudulent lien.  Preparing a claim of lien requires an ability to accurately determine and insert a legal description to real property, accurately compile the amount of the claim of lien and ensure that notice of that claim of lien is properly delivered to the owner.  The statute specifically authorizes a lienor to act “pro se” to prepare and record its own claim of lien (even though, if it is an entity, it would not be able to act “pro se” to file an action to enforce that claim of lien in court).  However, that is very different from another party or entity preparing that claim of lien for the lienor.  That is called the practice of law.

I can tell you from personal experience that notice companies file bad liens all the time.  They are not trained as attorneys.  If an attorney improperly prepares a claim of lien and the client pays the price, the attorney has malpractice coverage to compensate the client.  What sort of insurance do you suppose the notice companies have for their clients?

If the lien is defective, it is defective.

Are you all saying that a secretary at a subcontractors office cannot prepare the lien even though it is signed by the president of the sub?

If a notice company prepares the lien form based on info provided by the sub, and the sub president signs it, what is wrong w that?

If the committee is going to address this issue, the committee should also address the larger problem of “lien notice services” offering to prepare claims of lien.

Arnie – I can’t argue with your logic about Grade A clients.  Grade B clients help pay the bills and may be susceptible.  Grade C clients, good riddance.

That said, as officers of the court knowing that they are fraudulently inducing those in the construction industry to hire them with false promises, if there is something we can do, we probably should.

MUCH TO DO ABOUT NOTHING.  Grade A business / construction clients don’t forsake their relationship with their legal counsel and engage an out-of-state collection agency to collect on a Claim of Lien based on a phone solicitation any more than Grade A business / construction clients engage an attorney in response to a radio spot.  The Texas boys have been at it for years and your Grade A clients will always call you when they are contacted by such folks. If your client was ever to be duped by such tactics it was not Grade A and should be dropped and referred to your competition.  Just my thoughts.  Arnie.

Subject: [CLC-Discussion] Texas Collection Agencies

Good morning all.  I am writing about an issue that I am seeing with increasing frequency.  The purpose of this email is to (i) alert the community of this practice, (ii) learn if others are hearing the same thing from their clients and (iii) see if folks smarter than me have any ideas how to deal with, or ideally, stop them.

Many of our clients that record liens are receiving unsolicited calls from collection agencies out of Texas, the two most common we are seeing are Tucker Albin and Assoc. (http://tuckeralbin.net/) and Milton Myers and Assoc. (http://www.mmatx.net/).  Obviously, they are getting the clients’ information by pulling the liens from the public records.

The problem is that they are making blatantly false statements such as they are working with others on the project and can guaranty payment if the client signs up, or they are representing several other lienors on the same project that are about the get paid and if the client signs up, he can get them paid now.  The reason I know these statements are false is because in the last two occasions that my clients received these calls, they were the only lienors on the projects and on both, I was already in contact with counsel for both the contractor and owner negotiating settlements.

I look forward to hearing from the group.
