Time to Mix it Up - Adding general collection advice
Most of my posts for the past year or so have been relating to mechanic's liens and the idiosyncrasies of the mechanic's lien laws. I am going to start mixing it up and try to include general collection matters as well. If there are issues you would like me to address, please feel free to post a comment or drop me an email and I will work on answers to the questions that you find most compelling.

we were working on this house for 8 months the guy was also building another primary residence right next door and was in over his hhead, he asked me if i could do the work as cheap as possible he would give me the sweat equity, needless to say he had a hard money loan that was over due, i installed my slate, jetted bath,travertine i did every aspect of the house myself, he then evicted us,right after we filed a mec. lien, he has tied up our attorney with this eviction and now we are out of the $200per hr, so my wife is trying to do it herself, she just did the lis pendens(she hand typed)do i also need to file a complaint of foreclosure? i've never been though this but we haved been devastated he owes us just over $180k, we have tried to settle but he says he only has 8k, any help?

I do not know where you are located. The complaint for lien foreclosure should be filed before the lis pendens.
You are getting started with what will likely be complicated litigation. If you have $180,000 at risk, I would encourage you to meet with an attorney - maybe you can find one that will take it on a contingency. At least take advantage of an initial consultation in your local area.
