NJ CONSTRUCTION LAW
Construction contractors working on commercial properties in Hudson and Bergen Counties—including areas such as Hoboken, Hackensack, Fort Lee, and surrounding towns—face significant challenges in securing payment. New Jersey’s Construction Lien Law safeguards contractors’ rights, enabling them to file a Construction Lien Claim for completed work or supplied materials, especially for commercial projects. This lien can block property sales or financing if payment issues arise. Our firm assists contractors, property owners, and general contractors in filing or disputing liens, ensuring legal protection and fair compensation through claims and litigation.
