Brydger v. Wolfe
District Court of Appeal of Florida
Decided June 11, 2003No. 4D02-552PublishedCited by 1 opinion
1Opinion of the CourtStevenson, J.
Gordon C. Brydger, P.A., appeals an order denying its motion to satisfy an attorney’s charging lien as untimely. We reverse. Because Brydger’s notice of charging hen was filed in the original action prior to its termination, it was properly perfected. Additionally, Brydger promptly moved for a judgment on the charging lien once Brydger discovered that a final judgment had been entered without notice to him and without resolving the charging hen issue. We remand so that the trial court can determine the proper amount of the charging hen and impose the judgment against any responsible parties.
