Mechanic’s liens
Andy2 months agoWe thought or old will and plan was up to date, we were wrong. Everything about a trust is what we needed. All done in 5 days. Wills go to probate, trusts don't. Just added trust as secondary beneficiary. Thank you Ted! Great customer service!

Chyna H7 months agoWhere do I start?! Ted was amazing from beginning to end. After speaking with several attorneys who made getting a beneficiary deed sound incredibly complicated. Ted scheduled me the same week and had everything handled quickly and efficiently; we were in and out in no time.
Beyond his efficiency, what stood out most was his professionalism and kindness. He treats you like a person, not just another transaction and that truly makes a difference. I genuinely appreciate his approach and will absolutely recommend this law firm. I plan to continue to do a business with them moving forward.
Gary Hunt12 months agoTed was very helpful in setting up our will and trust. My wife and I are in our early 70s and should have done this a long time ago. His cost for this service was very reasonable. We definitely recommend him.
Charles Carlock1 year agoI've worked with these guys on multiple realestate projects now. They're awesome! What they lack in size compared to some big firms, they make up for in brilliant, outside the box, precision. A special thanks to Erik! I would highly recommend this firm to friends and family.
Kathleen Martin2 years agoTed is very knowable and made the process of estate planning very smooth.
VetTech Britt2 years agoProfessional and efficient. Ted has helped me with large and small tasks that I have needed to complete and gotten both done with precision in a timely manner.
John Whitlock2 years agoIf you need attorneys who will fight for you....look no further. I had a need to get out of a real estate partnership that went sour and needed to get out of a mortgage situation that was cumbersome (mostly emotional) to me. Through a referral from a friend I called TdD Attorneys at Law and got a same day initial appointment with Ted Disabato. Ted talked with me, not down to me, and suggested to do a Partition lawsuit. He explained, in detail what it meant, to my satisfaction. After hiring the firm, I was contacted by his associate attorney (Pitbull) Louis Teson. What a fine young man this guy is. He mediated an amicable agreement with my (former) ex partner and the rest is history. Thank you Ted, and thank you Louis. From the bottom of my heart!! P.S. Ted...you need to work on making Louis a Partner. 🙂

Missouri Mechanic’s Liens Law
Missouri first enacted a mechanic’s lien law in 1822. The law is very statute- driven, varies significantly based on the relationship the individual who wants to file the lien had with the owner of the property and requires that the lien filer dot every “i” and cross every “t” to properly use the law. In addition, the mechanic’s lien’s priority may be in competition with other mechanic’s lien filers.
Contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers of materials (which, in addition to actual construction work, can include work by architects, engineers, surveyors, landscapers, demolition contractors, commercial real estate appraisers and commercial title examiners) can use the mechanic’s lien statute to place a lien on the property if they are unpaid for labor or materials. If you need to obtain a mechanic’s lien or wish to fight one that has been put on your property, we can help. Consult with our St. Louis real estate lawyers at TdD Attorneys at Law for help through your lien concerns.

Common Mechanic’s Lien Claims in St. Louis
In order to file a mechanic’s lien, the owner of the property must have received the proper notice. The notice requirements vary depending on whether the individual or company that wants to file a mechanic’s lien was an “Original Contractor,” meaning that they contracted directly with the property owner or, subcontractor and whether the property owner also lives on the property. For original contractors, the notice should be included in their bids, contracts and invoices, and there should be a procedure in place to ensure that all of the necessary signatures are being obtained. Common mechanic’s lien defenses are:
- That the proper notices were not sent.
- The contract does not have all the necessary signatures.
- The mechanic’s lien was not filed prior to the filing deadline.
Timeline For Filing A Mechanic’s Lien In Missouri
Further, a mechanic’s lien statement must be filed within six months from the last date work was performed. Once the lien statement is recorded, the lien filer then has another six months period to file a lawsuit to foreclose the lien. Many contractors don’t realize that even if they never had any interaction with the property owner, nor know who the owner is, they still may be able to file a mechanic’s lien against the property where they worked or supplied materials.
