Express Lien Just Got Smarter – Introducing the Lien Wizard

SEATTLE, WA (December 23, 2008) — Express Lien, Inc. is excited to introduce its proprietary Lien Wizard, proclaiming that its innovative lien filing and management service has just gotten smarter.

The new Lien Wizard makes it easier than ever for contractors, suppliers and others to build and order construction notices, mechanics liens, lien releases, cancellations and more.

The Lien Wizard collects information about the contractor and the particular project, and determines what types of documents may be filed.

“It’s really a spectacular new feature,” says founder Scott Wolfe, Jr.  “Lien law can be quite complex.  We’re trying to harness web technology to make it easier than ever for contractors to protect and assert their deserved lien rights.  The Lien Wizard takes the project information, applies it to the legal standards, and figures out what should be filed.    And it’s getting smarter every day.”

Within the next thirty days, Express Lien is adding a web-based lien management service to its suite of lien solutions.   The management software will calcualte lien deadlines, offer contractors deadline alerts, and notify users of the lien law that applies specifically to its project.

How much is the new lien management software going to cost?   “Nothing,” says Wolfe.  “We’re giving it away.  People shouldn’t have to pay for public information.  We’re giving away the lien law, the lien alerts, the deadline alerts, and the online lien management software.  If the contractor wants to use our lien filing service for a fee – great.”

Express Lien, Inc. is a Washington corporation that files construction notices, liens, cancellations and other lien documents for contractors across the United States.
