Client owns a portion of an existing shopping center, and some of his portion is undeveloped (the “surplus property”).I attempted to buy the surplus property for my own development purposes, but I could not come to terms with the Seller.Seller (not a real estate guy) decided to attempt to self-develop the surplus.This is where my “Seller” became my “Client” as he hired me to handle the development for him.I’d put in a lot of time, but now the only way to monetize the opportunity was to pull out some consulting fees.He hired me (yes, we had a contract) to determine what to build, how much rent could be expected, to coordinate with the other tenants, navigate through the leases, the REA, etc.It now appears he is not going to pay me the last installment of my fee.Can I file a lien?
