We’re pleased to learn that the Construction Lien Blog has been recently added to ABA Journal’s BLAWG directory, and can be found here:  http://www.abajournal.com/blawgs/construction_lien_blog/.

ABAJournal.com is the Web site of the flagship magazine of the American Bar Association, and provides the public with an extensive listing of legal blogs from law firms, attorneys, legal journals and consultants.

The term “BLAWG” is used in the legal industry to describe “law blogs,” and is specifically derived from combining those two words.

Zlien’s Construction Lien Blog becomes one of just 30 “blawgs” nationwide delivering information in the “construction law” category.  To see summaries from all 30 blogs, click here.

However, whenever we run across something great, we share it on Twitter or through Google Reader.  Interested in reading what we read, and learning more about construction liens and laws?   Subscribe to our Google Reader shared articles page (jen’s) (scott’s), or follow us on Twitter.

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, Zlien is adding a web-based lien management service to its suite of lien solutions.   The management software will calculate lien deadlines, offer contractors deadline alerts, and notify users of the lien law that applies specifically to its project.

Contractors, Suppliers, and Construction Professionals can save time and money on common legal matters, such as construction liens, notices and cancellations.

Zlien helps your organization create reliable legal documents from the comfort of your home or office, and without spending thousands on attorneys fees. Simply answer a few questions online (or fax in an order-form) and your documents are prepared and sent for filing within 5 working days.

Based on the provided project data, you documents are:
