In re Heffernan

257 A.D. 897, 12 N.Y.S.2d 577, 1939 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 8316

Opinion

Appeal from an order of the Pulton County Special Term of the Supreme Court, fixing petitioner’s lien for disbursements and attorney’s fees at the sum of $298.53, the same to be satisfied and deducted from $600 now in the hands of the attorney, collected through his activity, on a judgment wherein appellant, a dissolved corporation, was the judgment creditor. Appellant has been represented in this matter by several attorneys. Petitioner establishes a retainer, and shows that substantial services were rendered by him, and that he obtained and now holds the fund. Order unanimously affirmed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements. [See, also, Matter of Eisenstadt, Inc., v. Heffernan, 256 App. Div. 488; Matter of Young, ante, p. 878.]
