Norkote has been utilizing Northwest Lien since 2005. After a lien pressured a project owner to pay, previously determined as an uncollectible debt, and construction lawyers stressing the importance of exercising lien rights, Norkote has made it standard practice to file pre-lien notices on each of our projects. NW Lien is economical, knowledgeable, fast, and has maintained the same staff and high level of customer service for the 14 years of utilizing their services. Highly recommended to all contractors.
-Jessie Gillet, CFO of Norkote, Inc.
We’re fast: many times we can file a lien electronically in less than 48 hours. We’re reliable: over $5 million collected for our clients last year. We’re effective: liens create the best chance of getting paid.
