In furtherance of our discussions yesterday the article below states how the State of Ohio is now dealing with Levelset. Our statute requires that they not sign liens to be recorded in Florida but for some reason they are still doing it.

Sincerely,

Here is what the article above says about the settlement between ZLien (Levelset’s old name) and Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association:

Pursuant to the settlement, zlien has agreed to require its users to sign generated lien documents themselves rather than appointing zlien to sign for them through a power of attorney, but the overall use and function of zlien’s software is not modified. Further, zlien did not admit that signing a document constitutes the practice of law, and retained the ability to seek a legal determination as to whether signing an affidavit on behalf of a 3rd party, through a power of attorney, does or does not constitute the practice of law.
