Lee Baker, Jr. v. Kenneth M. Duffus, Kenneth M. Duffus v. Lee E. Baker, Jr.

Summary

The court affirmed the superior court’s merits rulings that the settlement funds were interim distributions from the LLC subject to the creditor’s charging order and that the law firm failed to prove any amount secured by its attorney’s lien. It vacated a second final judgment because the proceedings merely determined that funds were available to satisfy an existing judgment and created no new liability. It also vacated an attorney-fee award against the creditor because the superior court identified no violated rule or other basis for imposing fees.
