Edward E. Klein, Appellant v. Edwin Eubank, Respondents, Discontinued Respondents

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that a former attorney of record may enforce a Judiciary Law §475 charging lien even after withdrawal, and that a mutual, non‑misconduct termination does not forfeit the lien. The Court reversed the Appellate Division’s summary‑judgment dismissal and remanded for further proceedings on the lien issue.
