Charging Lien

“[A] charging lien is an equitable right to have costs and fees due an attorney for services in the suit secured to him in the judgment or recovery in that particular suit.” Sinclair, Louis, Siegel, Heath, Nussbaum & Zavertnik, P.A. v. Baucom, 428 So.2d 1383, 1384 (Fla. 1983). “It is not enough to support the imposition of a charging lien that an attorney has provided his services; the services must, in addition, produce a positive judgment or settlement for the client, since the lien will attach only to the tangible fruits of the services.’ ” Mitchell v. Coleman, 868 So.2d 639, 641 (Fla. 2d DCA 2004) (quoting Correa v. Christensen, 780 So.2d 220, 220 (Fla. 5th DCA 2001)).
