Filed first one and Consumer Affairs forced him to release it because he was unlicensed. Same day filed another one for a third of the amount and a different reason! Of course supplied ficticious paperwork.

Licensed sub's can file liens. This comes about when the contract a person signs does not include the General Contractor paying all subs. It should be stated in the contract that the price quoted covers all labor and materials. It should also be stated that all sub-contractors will be licensed, bonded and insured. This protects the home-owner from getting sued for a subs employee getting hurt on the job and that any damages by the subs employees will be fixed. Filing ficticious paperwork in court is not smart.

In MOST states, if you are not licensed to do the work you're claiming a lien for, you're not entitled to the lien.
If you can't get the lien, you can always go to Small Claims Court. Once you get a Judgment there, you can get a Judgment Lien.
