4. Requisites of a Charging Lien:
Answer:
1. Attorney-client relationship;
2. The attorney has rendered services;
3. A money judgment favorable to the client has been secured in the action; and
4. Noting into the records of the case through the filing of an appropriate motion of the
statement of the lawyer’s claim for attorney’s fees with copies furnished to client and adverse
party.
5. Can there be illegal dismissal case between lawyer and his client?
Answer: No, there is no illegal dismissal case between lawyer and his client. The relationship
between a client and lawyer is purely contractual in nature and not one of employer-employee
relationship. The fourfold test and the power to control the employee is wanting in such
relationship. Since the labor arbiters and other labor tribunals have no jurisdiction over claims
not arising from employer-employee relationship, thus illegal dismissal case between lawyer
and his client is not applicable thereof.
