P1420 REVIEW DENIED An attorney's lien on the client's recovery is effective immediately upon execution of the retainer agreement containing it and has priority over a lien by another creditor that did not become effective until it was filed in the client's action; the fact that a creditor previously filed a similar lien on an unrelated action involving the same client did not change the priority of liens on this particular case.CitationWALTRIP v KIMBERLIN (Lien Priority) 164 CA4 517 [See: CCP 708.440, 708.410; CivC 2881, 2883, 2897; Carroll v Interstate 99 CA4 1168, P/AT 9/02; Pangborn v Carruthers 97 CA4 1039, P/AT 5/02]
