What constitutes a legal lien in the state of New Jersey? An attorney I had hired 3 years ago to represent me in a personal injury suit was not licensed to practice in the state in which the accident occured. He made several frivolous attempts in my case, all of which were for naught. He discharged us as clients and suggested we contact an attorney in the state in which the injury took place, which we did.
He is now sending me a letter asking for his costs involved in the case, despite having discharged us as clients and not obtaining a settlement.
What exactly constitutes a true, pure legal lien in the State of New Jersey? Does a mailed letter constitute a lien, or must it be filed with the county court system? To date, I have received nothing but his letter - does this make for a truly valid 'lien'???
Please advise - many thanks!
