Re: attorney's fees and lien

Yes.

You apparently have an unpaid bill. Your attorney can take steps to try to insure that the bill is paid.

It is hard to understand the interest that you have. Even though the house is in your ex's name, you have a right to proceeds from its sale or from its ownership. Your attorney, assuming the steps are done correctly, has a right to insure that your debt is paid.

If you have any questions or need assistance, contact me.
