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.

The web and service improvements include:

The Lien Wizard: Our new lien wizard helps contractors choose which documents to file on a project, and to provide us with the information we need to prepare your instruments.  The wizard helps you Lien Smarter today…and its getting smarter everyday.

The site summarizes the notice requirements and lien deadlines for each state, provides you valuable links to other other resources on the web related to that state’s lien laws, has a collection of free lien and notice forms for easy download, and even provides you with a directory of some of that state’s construction attorneys.

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.

Let us know – with our new Uservoice Feedback Forum it’s easy.  You can suggest a new feature or concur with someone else’s suggestion in less than 30 seconds!

Here are some of the current user suggestions:

• Create bulk-order or multi-order pricing
• Separate orders by project in client login
• Store Customer Information in database to make online ordering easier
• Add lien law summaries to client login and Zlien website
• Calculate Lien and Notice Deadlines

“Many contractors are liening jobs week after week,” says Scott Wolfe, founder of Zlien. “The client login feature allows them to get easy updates on their lien orders, plus have access to all lien files.”

Once logged in, clients can view orders currently pending and those already completed. Scanned copies of the liens, the return receipt delivery confirmations and more are all keep within client accounts and are accessible to clients at anytime.
