A: There are many unknowns with your question. Are you a licensed Contractor in CA? Do you have a contract with the person who owes you the money? Does that contract have a mandatory mediation or arbitration clause? If you are a licensed contractor, did you file the proper Mech Lien docs?

Those are just the basics which need to be known before anyone can try to answer your question.

Thanks
