What is the next step when a lawsuit isn't answered by a business owner?
Question Details:
I'm a electrical contractor and completed a job 15 months ago. Partial payment was collected from the business owner. A mechanic's lien has been placed on the property for the amount owed for the contracted work. A lawsuit was served for the remaining balance of the bill without any response from the business owner. Will they be held responsible to answer the lawsuit and if not, what would be the next step to take to try to get the outstanding?

Make sure the owner received notice so that there would be no service issue. You can foreclose on the lien afterwards if they do not respond.
