It costs us money to place each lien. This is recouped when the liens are cleared. Due to the Murakami case, we can no longer just place a lien, we must first get a judgment, then get a lien for the amount of the judgment. Our liens use to cost us $25 to place, but now this is expected to cost as much as $1,000 just to place a lien due to legal costs.
