Thank you, Mr. O'Connor - You seem to be a bucl jassa (nice boy), and I hope you have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day - and every day after : )

"We" - not just a hot electronic game anymore.

I represent a company that did the counters for this nifty new bar...the contract, as stated, was with the GC, but the owner's balked at paying him, and as can happen with all "trickle-down" streams...there was a logjam.
Now the GC has filed bankruptcy, the owners are but tenants in the building, and we're at a loss as to how to proceed. File a lien against the property owner, instead of the company for which the work was done? Start a class action suit will all the other subs left hanging, pockets turned inside out? (At least we did find some nice mints)

The scenario: the general contractor contracted with the subs, but has now filed for bankruptcy. The owners of the company for which the work was done are just tenants in a building (but enjoying their fancy new bar). A mechanic's lien goes against the property (an innocent landlord), isn't that right? How do we file a lien, or an action, against the company that hired the GC, since the work was for their benefit? We don't want to hit up the landlord.

Wish I had stayed in the Caribbean : (
