Legal Question in Family Law in California

My attorney and I entered into a Real Property Lien Agreement which states " my attorney fees will be paid out of any escrow this property may encounter." The Lien is in the amount of 20K, balance currently owed is 15K. Will this agreement shield me from any liability to pay the balance owed in cash?

Will Borson Petition likely be granted when there is a Fee Agreement in the form of Real Property Lien in place?
