[CLBS] Mechanics lien reduced to judgment

[Ron Kerl]

Kudos to Jeff and others with his sentiment on the question.

I too have been a creditor counsel during my 40 years in the practice - and
think that a 10 year judgment with 10 year renewal is plenty of time for a
creditor to collect a judgment.
