If the project was in Virginia, you could sue him in Virginia, but you may need to register the judgment in Ohio (or where ever the contractor is living) to enforce the judgment. I'm sure anyone who responds would be happy to help if you decide to hire a lawyer. Good luck.

Contract states Final due on concrete Completion but we are getting paver coping instead of concrete. Still a huge piece of the project to be finished. Don’t feel it’s fair to give full payment with a large piece unfinished and unscheduled.

Sounds like you need a lawyer to evaluate whether you have a claim for treble damages plus attorneys fees and costs.
The lien was filed June 6 2017 and the company is trying to enforce it as of Jan 26 2018. The law in VA states the lien expires after 6 months. work has stopped on our build so removing this is imperative.
thank you
answered on Feb 2, 2018
You will need to petition the Court and seek a court order to remove the lien.
