When he filed it, I asked if they questioned it. He said, "They were really confused!". Anyway, as I said, its done and see what happens here.

Without Prejudice.
If you had done labor and would have rightfully been entitled to a contractor's lien and that you applied the apppriate "lien processes" I dont see what would be unlawful.
I dont recall saying anything about "common law". English common law comes from England? Roman common law comes from Rome?
If you had done labor on the house and had a rightful contractor's lien whats "frivolous" about such a lien? I figured you and your friend would be at the local law library reading about liens or at the county court house asking questions.
The timeliness of your query probably had something to do with your request and results. I dont like what happened. If you did nothing what would have happened? That you did not request information as to how to go about doing such and such or how to write out such and such maybe gave some the impression that you knew more than you did.
How the lawyer wound up handling the case who knows? I have seen lawful process stop 'big boys' from doing dirty as quickly as a light switch shutting off a lamp. I dont like seeing your friend thrown out on their ear so to speak but if you had asked how to go about putting together the paperwork or how to find out the lien laws, then maybe you might have gotten specific replies.
