RoHillCo Business Solutions Illegal Construction Liens Lake Oswego, Oregon
Oregon Law requires construction suppliers to file "Right to Lien" notices with homeowners when materials are supplied for a project. Contruction Liens may not be filed legally without a provable Right to Lien, and any filings made without the Right to Lien are automatically null and void under Oregon Law.
RoHillCo advertises as being a construction lien specialist; however, Deschutes County Clerk records show that RoHillCo illegally filed a minimum of nine construction liens without Right to Lien notices in 2009 alone. A cursory examination in other Oregon county clerks' records show a similar pattern.
When confronted by the complainant's attorney's personnel, RoHillCo agreed to withdraw the Construction Lien; however, the subsequent Lien Release was improperly filed by RoHillCo, and required an additional three weeks to obtain a correct release filing; and then only under pressure from the complainant's attorney.
The complainant's attorney and paralegal state that RoHillCo has a known reputation within the three county central Oregon region for filing illegal construction liens, as well as deliberately delaying lien releases or incorrectly filing releases so that the Construction Lien appears to remain in force.

Illegal Construction Liens?????

I had originally decided that the "ripoff report" was so ridiculous and the author so illusive and more than likely a hoax, that answering seemed really unnecessary. Today I was called and this issue resurfaced, thus the need to reply.
Anyone that understands the statutes realizes that Right to Lien notices ARE NOT required by suppliers and subcontractors in every case. A lien is not "null and void" in cases where notices are not required under Oregon Law. Thus the author is incorrect.
Dave, the alleged author, states that Deschutes County clerk records show "illegal" filing of nine construction liens done without a Right to Lien. There is no way to answer to a "hidden" complaint and without having more than words on a report and not looking at any documentation. I do believe however, that liens not requiring Right to Lien notices have been filed and our clients have been paid.
The author makes it virtually impossible to adequately respond. The "complainants attorney's personnel???" Who are we talking about? We communicate with attorneys every single day over a variety of issues. Furthermore, anyone in this business would know, "What advantage would we, or any filing service, have in delaying a Satisfaction or Release of a Construction Lien? People in the business must be laughing at that one!!!
I have no way of determining what prompted this report. I would be happy at anytime to furnish a list of construction lien attorneys who have and continue to recommend us. By no means am I indicating that we are perfect in anyway, but I think are client base in over 26 States would tell you that "We Care"
