p0571 REVIEW DENIED A lawyer who seeks to enforce against a judgment received by a client in litigation a lien for his/her fee earned in handling the litigation must bring a separate action to do so, but enforcement against the judgment of a lien held by another party as a result of a judgment obtained against the client in a different case should be stayed, because the attorney's lien has preference.CitationBROWN v SUPERIOR COURT (Attorney Lien Enforcement) 116 CA4 320 [See: CCP 708.470; Cetenko v UCB 30 C3 528; Carroll v Interstate 99 CA4 1168 P/AT 9/02]
