Description
Order, Supreme Court, New York County, entered March 1, 1977, granting defendant Nissim M. Yaron's motion for an order directing Bernstein, Hawkins & Katcher, defendant's former attorneys, to turn over to defendant's present counsel certain exhibits, unanimously modified, on the law, to the extent of remanding the matter to Special Term and directing a hearing at Special Term or before a Special Referee, to fix the amount of the outgoing attorneys' lien for their services and disbursements, and of conditioning the turnover on payment of the sum thereby found to be due from defendant to his former attorneys or the posting of security therefor, and, as so modified, affirmed, without costs and without disbursements. Special Term in directing the turnover of exhibits failed to take cognizance of the common-law retaining lien of defendant's former counsel. The exhibits which are sought to be turned over are subject to a retaining lien. Where a client demands or requests the order of the court for the turnover of papers in the possession of his discharged attorney and the attorney asserts a claim for compensation for services rendered by him to the client, the attorney is entitled to a summary determination fixing the value of his services and the amount so fixed must be paid or otherwise secured to the attorney before any such turnover may be enforced (Bernstein v. Bedrick, 262 N. Y. 472) (Shatzkin v Shahmoon, 19 A.D.2d 658, 659).
