Pocket Guides

For Suppliers and For Contractors/Subcontractors

Written by Robert A. Weissman (construction attorney) and Susan Shaffner (paralegal)

These Pocket Guides are written just for the supplier and contractor (both General Contractors and Subcontractors). Each pocket guide contains a summary of the law of Preliminary Notices, Stop Notices, Mechanics' Liens, Release Bonds, Payments Bonds and the Miller Act. Following the summaries, are some of the most commonly asked questions about the Mechanics' Lien law. The contractor's version contains information about the importance of a written contract including home improvement contracts and the types of clauses that should be included. The supplier's version contains advice about credit applications and personal guarantees including advice about clauses that should be included. Each book ends with tables designed to help the supplier or contractor comply with the time periods imposed by the Mechanics' Lien law.

These pocket guides are written by Robert A. Weissman and Susan Shaffner, a construction attorney and paralegal. These pocket guides are designed to contain a very brief summary of the law. They do not contain any forms.
