| However, the filing of the statement of the claim does not, by itself, legally determine the amount of the claim when the client disputes the amount or claims that the amount has been paid.[10] In these cases, both the attorney and the client have a right to be heard and to present evidence in support of their claims.[11] The proper procedure for the court is to ascertain the proper amount of the lien in a full dress trial before it orders the registration of the charging lien.[12] The necessity of a hearing is obvious and beyond dispute.[13] | |||||
