Claims of Lien and Order to Show Cause Hearing

Section 713.21(4), Fla. Stat. requires that you counterclaim for foreclosure of your claim of lien on or before 20 days after receipt of a summons on an order to show cause proceeding.  Failure to file the counterclaim in that time frame results in the loss of your lien rights.  Unnerstall v. Designerick, Inc., 2009 WL 2971869 (Fla. 2d DCA 2009).
