• Jurisdiction: North Dakota
• Title 35: Liens
• Ch. 35-20: Miscellaneous Liens

Text

Any interested person may release an attorney's lien by executing an undertaking in an
amount double the amount claimed, or in such other amount as may be fixed by a judge of the
district court of the county in which the lien is filed or in which the subject of the lien is held. The
undertaking must be conditioned to pay to the attorney the amount finally due the attorney for
the attorney's services, which amount may be ascertained by suit on the undertaking. The
undertaking must be filed after approval by the clerk of court of the county. Any interested
person may make written demand upon the holder of an attorney's lien for a bill of particulars of
the services and amount claimed for each item or upon each written contract with the person for
whom the services were rendered, and thereupon, unless such bill of particulars is furnished
within ten days after service of the demand, the lien must be released.
