To make a long story short, I built some custom kitchen cabinets for a neighbor of my Cousin. We agreed to a price 2 years ago, and I finished about 5 months later. We agreed to a price of 7k dollars, but like a dumbass I didn't have her sign a contract.

I'm thinking of taking a lien on one of her cars or condo. I have never done this before and have no clue how to follow up on this. Surely there is someone here that has done this before. I'm trying not to have to go to Small claims court. Any advice would be appreciated.
