attorney fees
A. A lien granted under the provisions of this article shall not continue for a
longer period than six months after it is recorded, unless action is brought within that
period to enforce the lien and a notice of pendency of action is recorded pursuant to
section 12-1191 in the office of the county recorder in the county where the property is
located. If a lien claimant is made a party defendant to an action brought by another
lien claimant, the filing within such period of six months of an answer or cross-claim

this section.

the successful party reasonable attorney fees.
