Must read, discusses settled and pending cases and the inner workings of how Liberty Mutual settles their claims.
The “retaining lien” gives an attorney the right to keep, with certain exceptions, all of the papers, documents and other personal property of the client which have come into the lawyer’s possession in his or her professional capacity as long as those items are related to the subject representation. This type of lein is founded upon physical possession, and an attorney may forfeit its retaining lien by voluntarily giving away any of the items to which it may have attached. Further, an attorney’s retaining lien generally lasts “until [the attorney’s] disbursements have been fully paid and, as a general rule, his fee has been determined. (Citations omitted).
Importantly, despite the admitted fact that we have executed all the substitutions of attorneys presented to us two (2) weeks ago (no consents to change attorneys were ever presented until by one on December 30th by the attorney Jim Desmond, Esq. for the Toal DJ action), none of them have yet been returned executed, and we remain attorneys of record obligated to defend the cases until properly substituted out.
Since we have a retaining lien, there is no basis to suggest that we are holding anything “hostage” in seeking the payment we are lawfully entitled to, especially, when we have not, as yet, been property substituted out as attorneys of record. In any event, we have an account stated for payment of 100% of the bills as Liberty has never contested any of the bills (citation omitted)
Transfer of the files is inappropriate without a properly executed and served consent to change attorney and notice of substitution of counsel, and until then we are required to continue defending our clients, your insured’s. Additionally, we have a retaining lein on the files until our disbursements and fees are paid.
