Nebraska Supreme Court December 21, 2007, S-06-873 (Meister v. Meister)

Connolly, J.

Kevin V. Schlender appeals the district court’s order that his attorney’s lien was unenforceable under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 7-108 (Reissue 1997). Schlender represented Nanci A. Meister in her divorce from John C. Meister. After John appealed the court’s divorce decree, Nanci discharged Schlender and hired new counsel. A month later, Schlender filed notice of his attorney’s lien.
