My wife and I thought we were heading into a complicated legal odyssey with a destroyed commercial property until we hired Bill Kendall. His sustained focus and hard work was so effective that we had a great settlement within hours of the first deposition.

Multi-Family Property Claim (Dallas, TX)

Our large hotel was severely damaged by hail. After significant delays by the insurance company, our claim was denied. We hired Bill Kendall and Grisham & Kendall soon after. Through Bill’s efforts during our lawsuit, we were able to reach a favorable settlement close to trial. We would certainly recommend Grisham & Kendall, PLLC to any property owner whose insurance company isn’t treating them fairly.

How We Can Help With Lien Disputes & Removal

If a lien has been filed against your property and you believe it to be wrongful or invalid, you have the right as the property owner to contest the lien in court. In some cases, you may be able to file a summary motion to remove the lien — a legal action brought in district court that can result in the expedited removal of the lien, often within 24 hours of filing.

This type of motion functions similarly to a temporary restraining order and is especially helpful if you’re attempting to sell or transfer property affected by a disputed lien. If successful, the court will issue an order removing the cloud on your title, allowing the transaction to proceed.

Keep in mind, the court may require you to post a bond as a safeguard for the party who originally filed the lien, in case their interest is later upheld. Working with an experienced lien dispute attorney ensures your rights are protected throughout this process and increases your chance of a favorable outcome.

Below are common types of Lien Disputes:

Construction Liens & Bonds

Residential Property Liens

Mechanic’s Liens

Judgment Liens
