Question

My attorney resigned from my case, of wrongful termination and wage dispute, and placed a lien on my case. If I get any kind of settlement offer, does the attorney's name, the attorney who placed the lien on my case, need to be on the settlement check?



Answer

To protect itself, unless there is a letter stating that the attorney waives his fees, the defendant will refuse to settle unless his name is on the check, and they would be right to take that position.
